Wire Rope Compression Sleeves—For Lifting


Install with a compression tool to create a strong, permanent loop. Compression sleeves are also known as ferrules, crimps, swaging, and splicing sleeves. They're compatible with Nicopress compression tools.
Tin-plated copper sleeves have mild corrosion resistance.
Zinc-plated copper sleeves are more corrosion resistant than tin-plated or black-oxide copper.
18-8 stainless steel sleeves have excellent corrosion resistance to chemicals.
Warning: Fittings must match rope diameter and be installed correctly to obtain maximum holding power. Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.

Wire Rope Compression Sleeves—Not for Lifting


An economical option for light-duty tethering, securing, and suspending. Compression sleeves are also known as ferrules, crimps, swaging, and splicing sleeves. They're compatible with Nicopress compression tools.
Warning: Fittings must match rope diameter and be installed correctly to obtain maximum holding power. Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.

Hydraulic Compression Lug and Splice Crimpers

The most crimping force we offer—these tools have a high-pressure pumping system with a replaceable pressure cartridge that lasts for 10,000 to 12,000 compressions. The head swivels 180°.
Dies are required. The tools accept U-type dies for Alcoa, Burndy, Panduit, T&B, and Blackburn 12-ton tools. We list lug markings for two common manufacturers to help choose the correct die for your compression lug.
