I have a concern with a crane on our project using a wedge socket upside down. I have never seen someone use it in this manner. I was checking to see if this was an ok practice or if it was against manufacturers recommendations. There are two systems on this crane, one right side up and the other upside down. Any advice or knowledge on this matter is appreciated.Glen Crosby 5/8" S-421T Terminator Wedge Socket - #1035018

Hi Glen,

You certainly generated some conversation back at Crosby headquarters with this photo. We had never seen this application and neither had Crosby. The trainers and engineers are going to get together and figure out how they want to respond to your question. When they do, I will forward it along to you. Thanks so much for writing in.
