*Bolt-In Co Sunshine Coast Swaging Press
Swaging is the process of attaching the wire rope to the fittings. This creates a permanent bond of sufficient strength to endure the tension of the installed wire rope. There are two ways to approach swaging – we can do it for you, or, if you are purchasing wire rope from Bolt-In Co, we also hire swaging presses if you’d like to take care of your own swaging.
