Wire Rope Splicing
Hand & Mechanical
Hand and mechanical wire rope splicing carried out by experienced riggers — at our factory or onboard your vessel. AMS’s hydraulic presses in Cape Town and Walvis Bay handle mechanical splicing up to 46mm in diameter, and our riggers work in both Liverpool and lock splice formats, so whichever method your rig calls for, we can supply it.
What’s Included
Hand splicing, carried out by experienced riggers
Mechanical splicing up to 46mm diameter, using hydraulic presses at our Cape Town and Walvis Bay workshops
Liverpool splice and lock splice formats
Splicing carried out at our factory or onboard your vessel
How We Deliver It
Bring your wire rope to either of our workshops, or have our riggers come to you for a hand splice — the hydraulic press used for mechanical splicing is too heavy to transport, so mechanical splicing is carried out at our Cape Town and Walvis Bay workshops. For an onboard hand splice, our riggers bring the tools and experience to your vessel — no need to send wire rope off the ship and wait for it to come back.
Why AMS
AMS’s riggers carry years of hands-on splicing experience across both hand and mechanical methods, backed by hydraulic presses capable of handling wire rope up to 46mm in diameter, at both our Cape Town and Walvis Bay workshops.
Where We Deliver This Service
At our Cape Town and Walvis Bay workshops for mechanical splicing, or onboard your vessel for hand splicing. Onboard splicing is available in South Africa and Namibia.
