Swaged wire rope is made by compacting regular wire rope into a smaller, denser diameter. Density is key, because the higher weight per foot is what produces the increased strength and toughness you get with swaged wire rope. Loggers know that it will outlast and outperform traditional cable by quite a margin. It is stiffer due to its compacted design, so it's not for everybody. And yes, we can install a hook on the end such as the one you mentioned. If you would like to place an order, feel free to call us @ 800-442-7454.
