  • How Does a Wire Rope Sling Making Machine Work?

    A wire rope sling making machine works by using controlled hydraulic force to permanently compress a metal ferrule (sleeve) around the looped end of a steel wire rope — a process known as swaging or crimping. The result is a lifting sling with a mechanical joint that, when properly made, develops t...

1. What Is the GT-500 Bench Steel Wire Rope Press Machine Used For? – Core Applications

The GT-500 bench steel wire rope press machine is a compact, benchtop hydraulic swaging press designed for permanent termination of wire rope slings, Flemish eyes, and loop splices using aluminum or copper sleeves. It is widely used in rigging shops, small-scale sling manufacturing, maintenance facilities, and offshore supply bases where space is limited but reliable, high-quality terminations are required.

With a maximum pressing force of 500 kN (50 tons) and a throat depth of 80 mm, the GT-500 handles wire rope diameters from 3 mm to 16 mm, producing terminations that retain 95–100% of rope breaking strength. Compared to manual swaging tools, the GT-500 reduces cycle time by 70% and ensures consistent crimp quality – ideal for workshops producing up to 200 terminations per day.

2. Key Feature 1: Optimal Pressing Force & Diameter Range for Bench Use

The GT-500 delivers 500 kN of hydraulic force, sufficient for swaging sleeves on wire rope up to 16 mm diameter. The chart below compares the GT-500’s capacity against manual swagers and larger floor-standing presses.

Maximum Wire Rope Diameter Capacity by Swager Type (mm)

Manual hand swager (lever type)
6 mm max
Hydraulic hand pump swager (portable)
12 mm max
GT-500 bench press
16 mm max
Industrial floor press (1,000 kN)
32 mm max

Fig. 1 – The GT-500 handles 16 mm wire rope, covering 90% of common rigging and sling applications while fitting on a standard workbench.

The machine includes 6 interchangeable die sets for sleeve diameters from 6 mm to 18 mm, with quick-change tooling that reduces setup time to under 1 minute.

3. Key Feature 2: Fast Cycle Time & Bench-Friendly Footprint

The GT-500 features a single-phase electric hydraulic pump (220V/110V compatible) with a two-stage system: rapid approach at 25 mm/s and pressing at 4 mm/s. A complete swaging cycle takes just 5–8 seconds depending on sleeve size. The compact footprint (500mm x 400mm) allows placement on any sturdy workbench.

Swaging Cycles Per Hour (10 mm aluminum sleeve)

Cycles per hour Swaging method 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 25 55 220 320 Manual hand         Hydraulic hand pump            GT-500 bench             Floor press (1,000kN)

Fig. 2 – The GT-500 achieves 220 swaging cycles per hour, 4x faster than portable hydraulic swagers and nearly 9x faster than manual tools.

For a small rigging shop producing 150 terminations per day, the GT-500 reduces daily swaging time from 6 hours (manual) to just 45 minutes – an annual labor saving of over $12,000.

4. Key Feature 3: Consistent Termination Strength & Pull-Out Resistance

Proper swaging with the GT-500 produces terminations that retain 95–100% of rope breaking strength. The chart below shows minimum pull-out force achieved for various rope diameters using GT-500 with calibrated dies.

Minimum Pull-Out Force (kN) – GT-500 Swaged Sleeves vs. MBL (7x19 galvanized rope)

Force (kN) Rope diameter (mm) 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 3 6 8 10 12 14 16 GT-500 pull-out force (≥98% of MBL)

Fig. 3 – GT-500 swaged terminations consistently achieve 98% or higher of rope MBL for diameters up to 16 mm, meeting EN 13411-3 standards.

The GT-500 includes a built-in pressure gauge with adjustable pressure relief valve, allowing operators to preset swaging force for different sleeve sizes – ensuring repeatable termination quality within ±2%.

5. GT-500 Application Guide & Die Selection Matrix

The GT-500 accepts a range of die sets for different rope diameters and sleeve types. The table below provides a quick reference for common applications.

Table 1 – GT-500 die selection and recommended swaging pressure by rope diameter.
Rope Diameter (mm) Sleeve Type / Material Recommended Die Set Swaging Pressure (kN)
3–5 mm Aluminum stop sleeve GT-D6 (6 mm hex) 60–90 kN
6–8 mm Aluminum loop sleeve (Flemish eye) GT-D10 (10 mm oval) 120–180 kN
10–12 mm Heavy-duty aluminum / copper GT-D14 (14 mm hex) 250–350 kN
14–16 mm Double ferrule / high-strength GT-D18 (18 mm oval) 400–500 kN

The GT-500 also supports custom die profiles for specialty applications, including stainless steel ferrules and double-compression designs for high-strength slings.

6. Frequently Asked Questions About the GT-500 Bench Steel Wire Rope Press Machine

Q1: What types of sleeves can the GT-500 swage?
A1: The GT-500 swages aluminum stop sleeves, aluminum loop sleeves (Flemish eye), copper ferrules, and stainless steel sleeves for wire rope diameters from 3 mm to 16 mm. It also supports double-compression sleeves for high-strength applications up to 14 mm.

Q2: What power supply is required for the GT-500?
A2: The machine operates on standard 110V or 220V single-phase AC (user-selectable), with a motor power of 1.5 kW. No three-phase power is required, making it ideal for small workshops and mobile maintenance units.

Q3: How often does the GT-500 require maintenance?
A3: Recommended maintenance includes hydraulic oil change every 1,500 operating hours, die inspection for wear every 1,000 cycles, and pressure gauge calibration annually. Mean time between failures (MTBF) is 6,500 hours under normal shop floor conditions.

Q4: Can the GT-500 be used for on-site field swaging?
A4: The GT-500 is a stationary bench-top press (weight: 95 kg). For field use, we recommend the portable GT-200 hydraulic hand pump swager. However, the GT-500 can be mounted on a mobile cart for shop mobility.
