Winch cable ends - where can I get a replacement?

Jongould · Nov 18, 2011

Im after the hook on the end of a winch cable and also the clamps/crimps but I cant find them anywhere, anyone able to point me in the right direction? Its not for my landy but our recovery truck, the old cable is frayed at the last 5 meters so were gonna cut it off but I dont want to reuse the crimp, way to dangerous...

Cheers for any help

If you had a location in your profile we might be able to send you to somewhere on your side of the country.

I use Bristol wire and rope or Avon crane. They are both in Bristol.

It always helps if we know where you are!!

Up in this part of the world Lloyds Lifting are the ones to go to.

I would get looking for any rigging companies. so if you near the coast or any port i would start there.
you will then get stuff that has a swl rating.it might cost a little bit more. but the safety is worth it

I work for a lifting gear company, pm me and i'll get you a price.
You'll need to press a new hard eye/ferrule on to the end whilst fitting the hook unless you use a coupling link.Might be just as cheap to buy a full length of wire rope and we'll press it on.

Yeah a location would have been good, I'm in harwich, Essex. I found somewhere in the end, the local chandlers, took a few hours to think idiot though! Cheers for the help anyway
