Description
GERRO™ COMBI Cross Joint is a patented solution to give a very strong connection of combination ropes in a crossover. The ropes are secured with a screw before swaging the ferrule with special dies. A special swaging machine is required, called FPM 34 – Net press. As an alternative we have also developed a very small cross-joint press called UB 10T, to cater for narrow spaces.
