Align it over the wire rope, lock in, and slide down. Our step-by-step process is super-simple to follow and within seconds, your Ropinator will safely cover your dead end. This is wire rope termination at its best. Check out the how-to image gallery below or watch the video!

Hi, I'm Tom. I’ve been a crane mechanic for fifteen years and got the idea for the Ropinator after seeing many companies using cranes for tree removal having problems with their dead ends. I like to solve problems by making tools to fix them. After a trial and error period the Ropinator was born. Now 3D printed out of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). It has been proven to be a tough tool to protect a crane's dead end from getting caught or damaged by tree branches or wires. Buy purchasing The Ropinator, you're supporting a small business directly. Thank you so much for checking out The Ropinator!
