A long splice is used to create an endless loop of steel wire rope, which is predominately used on conveyor belts. This method of splicing is neccessary as the wire rope has no variation in diameter due to the process of splicing, therefore can be used to run between pullies & sheaves without causing any resistance or snagging.
The wire rope also has good abrasion qualities and the splice offers a strong tensile loading.
Applications include:
Train- rides
Conveyer belts
car impact testing
ski- lifts
Fairground rides
We have a team of wire rope riggers that are fully qualified with this form of splicing & will assist an advise where requested. This work can be undertaken on site or manufactured on premises to customer specification.
