Built from stainless steel, the Machining & Welding 5/16 IN Wire Rope Ferrule swages onto 5/16 inch wire rope to form a rated eye or splice.

Swage ferrules are a common way to terminate wire rope ends quickly and consistently, provided the correct tooling and technique are used during the swage.

Material choice between carbon and stainless steel lets you match the ferrule to the wire rope's own material and the assembly's environment.

A properly swaged ferrule can achieve close to the full breaking strength of the wire rope, which loose clips generally cannot match.

Facilities ranging from small machine shops to large distribution centers keep equipment like this on hand for the lifts that come up week after week. It is the kind of tool that earns its spot on the floor by saving time on every single pick, and it pays for itself quickly once it replaces improvised rigging on a recurring job.

Rated capacity should always be treated as a hard limit, not a target, and a quick visual inspection before each lift is one of the simplest ways to keep a lifting operation safe. Make sure your operators are trained on the specific rigging setup this equipment requires, and confirm that anyone signing off on a lift understands how to read the working load limit and match it against the actual load being moved.

Durability matters as much as initial capacity when choosing rigging equipment, since hardware that wears unevenly or corrodes quickly ends up costing more over its service life. Choosing components built to recognized manufacturing standards is one of the simplest ways to avoid that added cost down the road.

Details on capacity, dimensions, and hardware are listed below for a quick comparison against your requirements.
