Wedge Socket Feature

• Convenient and efficient installation: No professional crimping equipment or high-temperature pouring process is required. The fixing and removal of the wire rope can be completed by manual operation. The installation can be completed within a few minutes, which greatly improves the work efficiency. It is especially suitable for scenes where the wire rope needs to be replaced frequently.

• Self-locking function: When subjected to force, the tension of the wire rope will automatically tighten the wedge. The greater the tension, the firmer the lock, forming a "self-enhancing" effect, effectively preventing the wire rope from slipping and ensuring the safety of the connection.

• Structural impact resistance: The forged material has high strength, and the matching design of the sleeve and the wedge can disperse the impact force. It performs stably in dynamic force scenes such as lifting and hoisting, and can withstand instantaneous impact loads.

• Low maintenance cost: Components can be replaced separately. If the wedge or tongue is worn, there is no need to replace the sleeve as a whole. Only the wearing parts can be replaced to restore the performance, reducing the long-term use cost.

Wedge Socket Typical applications

• Lifting and hoisting field: In tower cranes, truck cranes and other equipment at construction sites, it is used to connect the hook and wire rope to quickly lift heavy objects; in light lifting equipment such as electric hoists and cantilever cranes in factory workshops, the wedge sleeve is used to connect the wire rope and the sling to improve material handling efficiency.

• Transportation industry: Container cranes and quay crane equipment at port terminals use wedge sleeves to fix the lifting wire rope to meet the needs of frequent loading and unloading operations; the traction rope connection of freight vehicles and the towing device of engineering vehicles also rely on it to achieve rapid connection and separation.

• Engineering and rescue operations: It is used to temporarily fix the traction wire rope during bridge erection and installation of large equipment; in emergency rescue scenarios, such as traffic accident trailers and rope connections of field rescue equipment, the rapid disassembly and assembly characteristics of the wedge sleeve can shorten the rescue response time.

• Agricultural and forestry machinery: The traction rope fixation of agricultural harvesters and the wood hoisting wire rope connection of forestry cranes. The wedge sleeve can adapt to complex outdoor environments and ensure the stable operation of agricultural machinery and equipment.
