Wire rope grommets cable-laid slings for demanding lifts
Durham Lifting supplies wire rope grommets for heavy industrial, offshore, marine and engineered lifting requirements. The endless sling arrangement is specified around the required working load limit, effective length, rope construction, bearing geometry and lifting method.
Where wire rope grommets are used
Grommets provide an endless wire rope lifting arrangement for applications where conventional eyes or mechanical splices may not suit the required capacity, connection or handling arrangement. Suitability depends on the complete lift, not the grommet diameter alone.
Large fabricated loads
Specified lifting arrangements for structures, machinery and project cargo with suitable bearing points.
Project lifting
Requirements reviewed around the lift plan, environment, connection geometry and documentation.
Matched requirements
Where grommets are required as a pair, length and application requirements should be identified at quotation.
Made to requirement
Effective length, construction, capacity and markings coordinated around the intended lifting arrangement.
Bearing geometry and the marked joint matter
The load applied to a grommet is affected by how it bends around pins, shackles, hooks or other bearing points. The marked core butt or joint area must remain clear of load-bearing and bending positions.
What we need to specify the grommet
Send the available lift information, drawings and connection dimensions. Durham Lifting can use this to review the appropriate product and supporting documentation.
Wire rope grommets available for sale or hire
Grommets can be supplied for a permanent lifting requirement or hired for a project, subject to the required capacity, configuration, location, dates and availability. Related shackles, lifting points and sling assemblies can also be considered.
What is a wire rope grommet?
It is an endless wire rope sling formed as a continuous lifting body rather than a conventional sling with separate end eyes.
Can wire rope grommets be hired?
Yes. Project hire can be discussed based on the required WLL, length, lifting arrangement, site location, dates and current availability.
Why is bearing diameter important?
The connection diameter affects how the grommet bends and carries load, so bearing points must be reviewed with the sling.
Which standard covers cable-laid grommets?
BS EN 13414-3 covers grommets and cable-laid slings. Applicable product, use and project requirements should be confirmed during specification.
