Which ending is NOT acceptable in a wire rope that is free to rotate when hoisting?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Wire rope terminations used for lifting and hoisting • How rotation or twisting under load affects different types of rope endings • The difference between permanent terminations (like poured sockets/splices) and adjustable or temporary terminations (like clips)

💭 Think About

• Which of these terminations is most likely to slip, loosen, or deform if the rope is allowed to rotate while hoisting a load? • Which endings are generally considered engineered, permanent fittings versus field-made or temporary methods? • Think about which type of termination is most sensitive to being installed perfectly and can fail if not done exactly right under rotation and shock load.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which terminations are commonly approved for overhead lifting when correctly installed • Check which option is most often described as a temporary or non-preferred method for critical hoisting • Confirm which type of ending may be prohibited for a rotating/hoisting application by your training materials or manufacturer guidance
