Heavy Duty Cable Socks

Within our heavy duty sock range is the A type sock, which is the strongest sock we produce, and which can be used for bare or insulated cable, conductor or wire and synthetic rope pulls. Also in this group of products is our MU type as well as equally strong socks, but with a rotating eye.

The socks would typically be used for overhead transmission and distribution line pulling or any applications with heavy load ratings, e.g. gas, electric railroad, rigging lines and construction pulls.

The sock range uses a selection of single, double and triple weave lattices to achieve the required functional properties.

  • Made from galvanised steel
  • Colour coded for ease of identification.
  • Can be matched-up with Slingco swivels
  • Designed for OHL stringing
