Viper Wire Rope LubricatorsWire rope cleaning & lubrication systems for cranes, winches & hoists
Improve wire rope maintenance with Viper Wire Rope Lubricators supplied by Durham Lifting for crane ropes, winches, hoists and heavy industrial lifting applications.
A cleaner, more controlled route to wire rope lubrication.
Viper systems are designed to reduce manual grease application and improve lubricant delivery through the rope while supporting efficient maintenance.
Improved lubricant penetration
Pressure application helps distribute lubricant into the rope rather than only coating the outer surface.
Reduced manual greasing
The system can reduce direct manual grease application around the rope.
Continuous application
Clean and lubricate the rope as it passes through the lubricator rather than working along the rope manually.
Support corrosion control
Correct lubrication helps protect rope strands against moisture, contamination, friction and wear.
Clean, seal and inject lubricant as the rope passes through.
The Viper lubricator surrounds the wire rope with a sealing collar while lubricant is delivered under pressure. The system is intended to improve lubricant coverage and reduce the mess and labour associated with manual lubrication.
The correct Viper setup depends on the rope diameter, rope condition, sealing arrangement, lubricant and application. Durham Lifting can help review the requirement before supply.
Prepare the rope, seal the collar and apply lubricant under pressure.
Exact setup and lubricant selection depend on the rope and application.
Review
Confirm the rope application, diameter, condition and maintenance requirement.
Clean
Remove or displace contamination and old lubricant as required.
Seal
Use the appropriate collar/sealing arrangement around the rope.
Lubricate
Deliver lubricant through the system while the rope passes through the unit.
Maintain
Continue inspection and rope-maintenance activity alongside lubrication.

Viper wire rope lubricator questions answered.
What is a Viper Wire Rope Lubricator?
It is a wire rope maintenance system designed to clean and lubricate wire rope as it passes through a sealed collar, with lubricant delivered under pressure.
How is it different from manual lubrication?
Instead of manually applying grease along the rope surface, the Viper system provides a controlled pressure-lubrication process around the rope as it moves through the unit.
Can it be used on existing crane ropes?
It can be used for suitable existing wire ropes where the correct sealing arrangement, lubricant and application setup are selected.
Does the system clean the wire rope?
Viper systems can be used with cleaning components to remove contamination or old lubricant before or during the lubrication process, depending on the setup.
What information is useful for a Viper quotation?
Provide the rope diameter, application, condition, approximate length, lubricant information if known and any site/access constraints.
Need a better way to lubricate wire rope?
Send the rope diameter, application and maintenance requirement. Durham Lifting can help identify a suitable Viper wire rope lubrication route and accessories.
