Question 1

What applications are Socketed Slings best suited for?

Accepted Answer

Socketed Slings are ideal for high-tension and fixed-load applications such as suspension bridges, cranes, guy wires, marine anchors, and transmission towers. Their secure socketed ends ensure no slippage or elongation under extreme tension, offering long-term durability and safety in both dynamic and static systems.

Question 2

What types of sockets are used in Socketed Slings?

Accepted Answer

There are mainly two types: spelter sockets (both closed and open types) which provide a permanent, high-strength connection by pouring molten zinc or resin; and wedge sockets, which are more flexible for installation and removal. The type used depends on whether the sling is permanent or adjustable in the application.

Question 3

Can these slings be customized for offshore or corrosive environments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Socketed Slings can be fully customized for offshore or marine use. Options include galvanized or stainless steel wire ropes, epoxy resin sockets for corrosion resistance, and special coatings. Clients can specify sling length, diameter, and socket material to meet site-specific environmental and safety standards.
