Crosby does not rate their wedge sockets with a fixed Working Load Limit (WLL) or breaking strength. Rather, they state that: "Wedge socket terminations have an efficiency rating of 80% based on the catalog strength of XXIP wire rope." You must refer to your wire rope's breaking strength and apply the percentage accordingly. It's also worth noting that most wire rope on the market is XIP, and not XXIP, although XXIP does exist. If you have more technical questions, please contact us and we can put you in touch with engineering.
