DEAD-END RIGGING/WEDGE SOCKETS
Wedge socket assemblies are popular rigging accessories
and have been successfully used for decades to terminate
wire ropes on mobile cranes. A wedge socket assembly is
easily installed and dismantled but it must be installed and
used correctly. It is essential to use only a wedge and socket
of the correct size for the rope fitted. Failure to do so may
result in the rope pulling through the fitting.
Since state and local laws may vary, alternate attachment
methods may be necessary depending upon work
conditions. If alternate methods are selected, the user is
responsible and should proceed in compliance with the
regulations in force. If there are any questions, contact your
local Grove Distributor or Manitowoc Crane Care.
Do not mix components from different manufacturers. The
selection, installation and use of a wedge socket assembly
must be in accordance with the requirements of the wedge
socket manufacturer and the wire rope manufacturer upon
whose wire rope the wedge socket assembly will be used.
Grove Crane specifies the size, type, class and line pulls for
wire rope, predominately rotation resistant wire rope, and
rigging accessories such as overhaul balls and hook blocks
for use with each new crane that it manufactures. Other wire
ropes and rigging accessories are available from various
vendors. Different wire rope manufacturers have differing
requirements for the construction, handling, cutting, seizing,
installation, termination, inspection and replacement of the
wire ropes they produce. Their advice should be sought for
each specific type of wire rope a crane user intends to install
on a mobile crane.
CAUTION
Only reeve the main hoist rope through the rope grab. Do
not reeve the auxiliary rope through the rope grab.
Never reeve multiple ropes through the rope grab at the
same time. Rope damage can occur.
