Marine Fittings
... primarily made from Stainless steel are designed to be used in highly corrosive environments.
Characteristically, these fittings may have designated Break Loads (BL) but are NOT stamped with any sort of rating even though they may comply with a published specification. These highly aggressive environments include marine or coastal locations, chemical or petroleum processing plants, mines or aerospace.

Rated Fittings
... primarily made from hot galvanised high carbon steel for load rated applications.
These fittings are designed to be used in highly mass stressed environments. Characteristically, these fittings are stamped with their designated WLL which incorporates a Safety Factor and complies with a published specification. These highly mass stressed environments include lifting, rigging, process plants, mines or aerospace.

Commercial Fittings
... are made from a host of materials with each being application appropriate.
If they are made from metal, then it is often a softer low carbon steel with a zinc plating to inhibit corrosion. Commercial fittings often have the same form factor as their Marine or Rated counterparts - but they are designed to be used in applications that are not highly stressed by either mass or environment.

Fittings are used to use deploy and install Wire Rope in virtually every situation. They are attached to wire by mechanical means (swageless) or manual swaging or hydraulic swaging. Further, they enable the connection and manipulation of structural wire rope to various substrates or platforms. They are essential as wire rope cannot be trivially connected to equipment given it cannot be (conventionally) knotted and splicing is generally not an option for most users … …Read more
