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

This sleeve is swaged with a hydraulic press to permanently secure a wire rope loop, eliminating the need for clips or knots at the termination point.

Consistent wall thickness and bore diameter keep the swage strength predictable from one ferrule to the next.

Keeping the right size ferrule on hand for each wire rope diameter you work with speeds up assembly and repair work in house.

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.

Before putting any lifting equipment into service, verify it matches your hoist or crane setup and confirm the rated capacity covers your heaviest expected load with margin to spare. Routine inspection of welds, pins, and connection hardware helps catch wear before it becomes a safety issue. Keep a simple inspection log if your facility does not already have one, since tracking wear over time makes it easier to plan replacement before a part actually fails in use.

Rigging hardware like this sees repeated use, so look for equipment that is properly rated, clearly marked, and traceable to a manufacturer that stands behind its specifications. Keeping documentation on hand for each piece of equipment also makes routine inspections and any future certification requirements easier to manage.

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