Viper Wire Rope Lubricators
Extend wire rope life, improve safety and reduce maintenance downtime with Viper Wire Rope Lubricators supplied by Durham Lifting.
Professional Wire Rope Lubrication for Safer Crane Operation
Correct wire rope lubrication is essential for crane safety, rope performance and long-term lifting reliability.
Traditional manual lubrication can leave wire ropes under-protected, often coating the outer strands while failing to reach the internal core where corrosion and wear can begin.
Viper Wire Rope Lubricators are designed to clean and lubricate wire ropes in a continuous process, forcing lubricant through the rope under pressure for more complete protection.

Benefits of Viper Wire Rope Lubricators
A practical maintenance upgrade for companies looking to improve rope life, reduce downtime and maintain safer lifting equipment.
Extended Rope Service Life
Help reduce premature wire rope replacement by improving lubrication across the rope structure.
Reduced Manual Handling
Minimise the need for manual grease application, helping reduce time spent around moving ropes or working at height.
Less Maintenance Downtime
Lubricate ropes quickly and consistently in a continuous process to support improved crane availability.
Improved Corrosion Resistance
Force lubricant into the rope to protect internal strands from moisture, contamination and corrosion.
How Viper Wire Rope Lubrication Works
The Viper system is designed to clean, seal, inject and protect the rope as it passes through the lubricator.
Clean
Old lubricant, dirt and contaminants are displaced as the rope passes through the system.
Seal
Correctly selected collars seal around the wire rope diameter for controlled lubricant application.
Inject
Lubricant is forced into the rope under pressure rather than simply coating the outside.
Lubricate
The system helps distribute lubricant through the rope strands for more complete protection.
Protect
The rope is left better protected against wear, corrosion and premature deterioration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Viper Wire Rope Lubricator?
A Viper Wire Rope Lubricator is a maintenance system designed to clean and lubricate wire ropes as they pass through the unit, helping improve rope protection and reduce manual lubrication work.
How is it different from manual wire rope lubrication?
Manual lubrication typically applies grease to the outside of the rope. Viper systems force lubricant into the rope under pressure, helping protect the internal strands as well as the external surface.
Can it be used on existing crane ropes?
Yes. Viper Wire Rope Lubricators can be used on existing wire ropes where the correct sealing collars and lubricant are selected for the rope diameter and application.
Does the system clean the rope?
Yes. As the rope passes through the lubricator, old grease and contaminants are displaced before fresh lubricant is applied.
Can Durham Lifting supply Viper systems and accessories?
Yes. Durham Lifting can supply Viper Wire Rope Lubricators, accessories and advice for crane, hoist and winch rope maintenance applications.
