Wedge SocketsOpen Wedge Socket 9.5 mm to 38 mm

Open Wedge Sockets combine positive attachment with optimum versatility. Easy-to-change, Active Lifting Wedge Sockets are a high strength cast alloy steel. Each socket accepts at least two different ductile iron wedges. This allows the socket to be used with more than one rope size. Together, wedge and body act as a vice which grips the wire rope and locks it into place.
