Every suspension rope ends in a termination that must carry the full load, every trip. Re-Ropes supplies and fits the complete range: rope sockets and wedge sockets, pressed and threaded terminals, spring suspension assemblies, compression springs, buffers, wire rope clips and eyebolts — matched to rope and application.
Overview
Terminations are small components with total responsibility: 100% of the suspended load passes through them. Specifying the right socket, spring and assembly for the rope construction and hitch is as much part of a sound roping system as the rope itself.
In detail
We hold the hardware the trade actually needs — from wedge sockets that allow field termination and shortening, to pressed terminals made up in our works, to the springs and plates that let a suspension breathe and share load evenly across the set.

Why it matters
01
Load path integrity
A rope is only as strong as its termination efficiency. Correctly specified and made terminations preserve the rope’s rated capability; improvised ones quietly discard it.
02
Springs share the load
Suspension springs are how multi-rope sets stay balanced in service. Tired or mismatched springs show up as unequal tensions and uneven wear — replacing them at re-rope is cheap insurance.
03
Field-serviceable choices
Wedge sockets make future shortening (for constructional stretch) fast and clean — a termination choice that saves every visit that follows.
Common questions
Asked before every engagement.
Something more specific? A specialist will answer it directly.
Ask usWhich termination should a re-rope use?
Usually what the installation was designed with — but where there is choice, wedge sockets offer field make-up and easy shortening for stretch, while pressed terminals offer compact, works-made consistency. We advise per installation and supply either.
Do you supply complete suspension assemblies?
Yes — sockets, rods, springs, plates and locknuts as complete assemblies matched to rope size, ready to fit. It removes the mixed-parts lottery at the hitch plate.
Why replace suspension springs with the ropes?
Springs settle and weaken with cycles. New ropes on tired springs inherit uneven load sharing from day one — the exact problem tension equalisation is meant to prevent.
