Wedge Sockets & Fittings – Secure, Versatile Wire Rope Terminations

Wedge sockets and wedge ferrules provide strong, adjustable wire rope terminations for cranes, lifting applications, and cable end stops. These fittings use a wedge-based design to grip and secure wire rope under load, allowing for easy installation and removal when needed. Lifting.com offers a variety of wedge-style fittings, including Quick Nubs (wedge ferrules) and wedge sockets for crane lines.

Quick Nubs (Wedge Ferrules)
Quick Nubs act as permanent stops on the end of wire rope, preventing pull-through while offering a compact and secure termination.

• Available for wire rope sizes from 7/16" to 1-1/4"

Wedge Sockets
Wedge sockets are widely used on crane lines to attach wire rope to overhaul balls, crane hooks, and other rigging hardware. They allow for quick rope installation and replacement while maintaining high strength and efficiency.
