HOOK WEDGE FOR 22MM WIRE ROPE – XCMG CRANEProduct Overview

This hook wedge for 22mm wire rope is a precision‑engineered lifting component specifically designed for XCMG mobile cranes (QY series, XCT series, and QUY crawler cranes). It secures the wire rope termination at the crane hook block, ensuring safe, slip‑free load handling under high‑stress working conditions.

Manufactured from forged alloy steel with heat‑treated surfaces, this wedge provides excellent wear resistance and fatigue strength. The 22mm groove dimension matches standard 6×36 and 8×19 wire rope constructions, offering a firm grip without damaging the rope strands.

Key Features

• Exact fit for XCMG crane hook blocks – no modification required

• 22mm wire rope diameter – compatible with most 20–25t XCMG cranes

• Forged steel body – Brinell hardness 300–340 HB

• Self‑locking taper design – wedge tightens under load

• Corrosion‑resistant finish – zinc‑plated or painted (option available)

• Proof‑load tested – 1.5× safe working load (SWL)

• XCMG QUY50 – 50t crawler crane (with 22mm rope)

• XCMG QUY70 – 70t crawler crane (auxiliary hoist line)

Installation Guidelines

Proper wedge installation is critical for safety. Follow these steps:

1. Inspect the wedge and the hook block groove for wear or debris.

2. Pass the 22mm wire rope through the hook block eye and around the wedge.

3. Insert the wedge into the tapered pocket – ensure the rope seats fully in the groove.

4. Pull the rope tail to snug the wedge – do not hammer.

5. Apply a light load (1–2 t) and re‑tighten.

6. Secure the retainer pin (if equipped) to prevent wedge movement during slack rope conditions.
