MARINE WIRE ROPE SOCKETING

Ocean Force provides professional wire rope socketing services using resin-poured socket terminations for marine, lifting and industrial applications. Socketing is carried out by experienced technicians using approved compounds and controlled preparation methods to ensure reliable load transfer and long-term performance.

Our wire rope socketing services are usually conducted on site, where the rope is installed. This reduces handling, transport and downtime, particularly for large diameter ropes or critical operational equipment. Our team is equipped to travel throughout the region to undertake socketing works on vessels, wharves and operational sites as required.

OCEAN FORCE PRECISION SOCKETING

Ocean Force brings extensive, hands on expertise in marine rope services, with specialist capability in resin poured wire rope socketing for critical marine applications. Our technicians understand rope construction, load paths and installation constraints, delivering socketed terminations suited to winches, cranes, davits and fixed marine systems. Work is usually completed on site or in controlled conditions using approved compounds and methods, supporting reliable load transfer, compliance with Australian Standards and robust long term performance.

PREPARATION

After a thorough inspection of the requirements, each rope end is prepared by unlaying (brooming) the wire, thoroughly cleaning the individual strands and correctly positioning the socket prior to pouring.

RESIN COMPOUND

The resin compound is applied under controlled conditions to ensure full penetration and encapsulation of the wires. All sockets are allowed to cure in accordance with manufacturer requirements before final inspection.

STANDARDS COMPLIANCE

Ocean Force delivers socketed assemblies suitable for cranes, winches, davits, towing, and fixed marine systems, completed in line with relevant Australian Standards and recognised industry practice.

The ability of Ocean Force to chase up hard to find class approved anchors and hardware with all proper documentation, sets them apart, as does quality of service and willingness to follow things up. Their communication is second to none, and we were able to keep the customer informed as to when the product was arriving. Everything was taken care of including delivery.
