FOR YOU

When we put three different swage fittings through a tug of war,

ESCO's stainless steel never gave up. -pi Mm

We put three different swaged sleeves through the toughest torture test we could devise: a side-pull test designed to tear wire rope slings apart at the sleeves. This is what happened: In a tug of war between two 52-ton tanks, the Vfe" aluminum and carbon sleeves ripped apart, but the ESCO Vz" stain- less duplex sleeve wouldn't give up.

When these tests were duplicated in an independent laboratory using a certified pull test machine, the alumi- num duplex sleeve ripped apart at 8,100 lbs.The carbon steel single sleeve ripped at 22,500 lbs. ESCO's stain- less steel duplex sleeve was still going strong when the rope broke at 30,000 lbs.* That should prove to you that ESCO's stainless steel swaged sleeve is the strongest wire rope connection made —tough enough to take almost any kind of abuse.

They're available for rope sizes through 2V2 ". And we'll even send you a certificate for a free stainless steel fitting that your ESCO dealerwill swage for you. Just send in the coupon. Then youcanstart putting ourstainlesssteel swaged sleeve through your own tug of war. 'Tests conducted and certitied by Northwest Test- ing Laboratories, Portland. Copies of the test certification are available by writing ESCO Corp.
