It is permissible to place an eye splice in wire rope used as cargo gear providing the splice is made using __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Eye splices in wire rope used for cargo gear must meet minimum safety standards • The difference between whole-strand tucks and half-strand tucks in a splice • How many total tucks (whole + half) are typically required for a properly finished wire rope eye splice used in lifting gear

💭 Think About

• Compare how many whole-strand tucks are in each choice, then how many additional half-strand tucks are added to "lock" the splice • Think about which option most closely matches a complete, properly tapered splice rather than a short or unfinished splice • Ask yourself which combination would most likely distribute the load smoothly and avoid a sudden change in diameter at the throat of the eye

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how many minimum whole-strand tucks are generally required in a safe wire rope eye splice for cargo gear • Check which option includes additional half-strand tucks to provide proper taper and locking of the splice • Eliminate any choice that seems too few total tucks for gear that will be used to lift heavy loads
