UNI-LOC® Torpedo Style Button; Load Bearing and Load Rated for Python® Compac 35


		to Wire Rope End Attachments Main Page

Torpedo Style Mobile Crane Button for non-rotating wire rope.

Load Bearing and Load Rated

Each button is type tested to destruction and proof tested AFTER installation onto the rope to 40% of the rope's Minimum Breaking Strength. The button is permanently stamped with a unique serial number. A Test Certificate is issued for each button installed.

All buttons for 16 mm rope and up and are supplied with a hoisting eye.

And now the answer to your next question: YES, we will install such buttons onto 'other' ropes not supplied or manufactured by us. In the case of SWAGED type installation we have to repeat our type testing procedure which includes a breaking strength verification test of the actual rope onto which the button is to be installed. Ask for our quote and availability of production capacity. We reserve the right to refusesuch orders at any time.

Uni-Loc® Spelter Style buttons come complete with an installation kit and basic instructions. DO NOT install this spelter button socket unless you are properly trained and authorized. This Installation Kit does NOT replace proper training.

This is a 'spelter type' which can be installed in the field. However, proof testing after installation is recommended.

Instead of sending the crane,
you have the option to just send us the drum.
