I want to install a spelter socket on a cable, and am wondering if I should do it myself or defer to professionals. It's going on a small die hoist crane, 3/8" cable, capacity supposedly 3000 lbs. (though the capacity placards were added later, and therefore don't necessarily have any meaning). The top of the hoist is about 8 feet off the ground, ie. things don't get lifted very high.
I think zinc is the traditional fixing medium but I have heard that some sort of epoxy is more popular these days. Anyone have experience with this?
Thanks,
Andy
