Sta-Lok Swageless Terminals

Wire Rope Terminals

Sta-Lok terminals were designed and launched as an innovative mechanical method of terminating wire in 1973 and over the intervening decades they have gained world-wide renown for their ergonomic design, superb quality and ultimate reliability.

Sta-Lok DIY self-fit mechanical terminals are designed for 1×19, 7×19, 7×7 and compacted strand stainless steel wire rope from 3mm up to 26mm diameter.

Sta-Lok terminals are widely recognised as an essential rigging accessory for both the amateur and professional rigger. The Sta-Lok mechanical construction will withstand both constant and variable shock loading with a connection to the wire that is ultimately stronger than the rated breaking load of the wire rope. The simplicity of the Sta-Lok self-fit wire termination concept makes it reusable time and again N.B. a new wedge will be required.
