Lifting & rigging hardware
Lifting & rigging hardware is used alongside wire rope terminations to connect and secure loads within lifting and rigging systems. As a specialist in wire rope sockets, Global Rope Fittings offers these products as complementary accessories that support the performance of the overall system.
While sockets form the primary load-bearing termination, lifting & rigging hardware completes the assembly. Components such as wire rope clips, solid thimbles and triangle plates protect rope eyes, distribute loads and provide defined connection points between ropes, chains, slings and shackles. These components support controlled load transfer, reduce wear and enable safe and efficient installation in applications such as lifting, rigging, mooring and towing.

FAQs about our lifting & rigging hardware
Lifting & rigging hardware is used to connect, secure and protect loads within lifting and rigging systems. It includes components that support load distribution, protect wire ropes and provide reliable connection points between system elements.
Wire rope sockets are used as primary load-bearing terminations, while lifting & rigging hardware consists of complementary components used to complete the system. These components support connection, protection and load distribution within the assembly.
Wire rope clips are used to secure the dead end of a wire rope when forming rope eyes or non-permanent rope terminations. They are typically applied where rope terminations need to be assembled on site or where flexibility in installation and replacement is required.
A wire rope thimble protects the rope eye against wear and deformation. It also increases the bending radius of the rope, reducing stress in the rope and supporting longer service life.
Triangle plates are used to distribute loads and align forces when multiple lifting legs are connected. They help maintain a stable and balanced load distribution within the rigging configuration.
Yes. These components are used in lifting, rigging, mooring and towing applications where reliable performance and durability are required, depending on correct selection and installation.
