Port Industry Sockets With Bolt And Nut
Details the OSS G series, specifically engineered for the high-intensity cycles found in port handling. The document provides technical data for capacities from 132 to 397 UStons, highlighting the blue primer and galvanized finishes and availability from stock for rapid terminal maintenance.
Engineered for Demanding Maritime Logistics: Port Industry Sockets with Bolt & Nut
The Port Industry Socket with Bolt and Nut is a high-performance wire rope termination specifically developed for the rigorous environments of cargo handling and maritime logistics. Constructed from high-grade quenched and tempered cast steel, these sockets feature a secure bolt and nut fastening system to prevent unintended pin release, ensuring maximum operational safety during high-frequency crane cycles in port operations.
Maximum Safety Features
- Quenched & Tempered Casting: The body is manufactured from high-grade cast steel, quenched and tempered for superior fatigue resistance and long-term structural durability.
- Extreme Load Capacity: Standard models offer a Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) ranging from 132 UStons up to 397 UStons.
- Standard-Certified Quality: Every socket is supplied with an EN 10204-2.1 declaration of conformity and an EN 10204-3.1 material certificate.
- Dual Corrosion Protection: Features a robust finish of blue primer coating and hot-dipped galvanizing for exceptional resistance to saltwater and industrial pollution.
Precision Engineering & Field Versatility
- Specialized Roller Option: Available with an integrated roller to facilitate smoother cable movement and reduce friction during reeving operations.
- Controlled Manufacturing Tolerances: Ensures a strict ±5% tolerance for the jaw opening (W) and pin diameter (ØP) to maintain precise rigging alignment.
- Broad Wire Compatibility: Optimized to accommodate wire rope diameters from 1-1/8″ up to 2-3/8″.
- Ready for Deployment: All standard models are maintained as available from stock for immediate site implementation.

⚠ Safety Warning: Always adhere to the Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) and ensure wire rope termination is conducted by certified personnel. Be aware that surface finishes like hot-dip galvanizing or paint may slightly add to the overall thickness and fork distance; always verify fit prior to installation. Refer to the comprehensive safety documentation on pages 136-199 for full maintenance and installation procedures.
