Amongst our full ferrule line-up, the round copper ferrules we sell are an attractive option for customers who want to create stainless steel wire rope assemblies that are built to last. We create bespoke ferrules to fit wire ropes and can press fit them at our factory for convenience if required.
While we offer aluminium round ferrules these are not appropriate for use in combination with stainless steel rope. For that purpose, our copper round ferrules are a better option. They can sit at the point where the rope terminates, or be attached part way along its length if necessary. For safe use of lifting equipment in adverse environments, copper is a capable choice of material.
As well as round copper ferrules, we also offer other rope fittings and ferrule types which use copper as their key component. You can buy conical copper ferrules and straight ferrules from Rope Services Direct. Because we offer a bespoke manufacturing services, you can be certain that the ferrules you choose are up to the task at hand. We also stock lifting gear that can be combined with our rope assemblies, so there is no need to go anywhere else.
There is no need to stay in the dark about the copper round ferrules we manufacture. A quick call to 01384 78004 is all it takes to talk to an experienced team member who will talk you through the benefits. Email us if you prefer digital communications.
