Upson-Walton™ Closed Swage Sockets

EFFICIENT, QUICK and POSITIVE
Why pour zinc or epoxy when swaging is sure? Swage sockets have as much as five times longer life than spetler sockets.

Tests prove swage sockets have the best fatigue life

An extensive research study by one of the nation's steel companies clearly established the fatigue life superiority of swaged sockets over other commonly used types of boom pendants.The tests included applied dynamic longitudinal load to the rope. They also simulated stresses which occur in pendant service. The graph at the right shows the results of these tests.
