Product Details
The wire rope clip consists of three primary components engineered to provide a secure grip on wire rope.
- Structure: The clip features a U-shaped bolt, a saddle (or bridge), and two nuts. The wire rope is laid into the U-bolt, and the saddle is placed over the ropes. As the nuts are tightened, the saddle and U-bolt are drawn together, clamping down on the ropes to create a secure friction-based hold.
- Material Options:
- Stainless Steel: The premier choice for marine, food-grade, or highly corrosive environments, offering superior resistance to rust and oxidation.
- Malleable Steel: A strong and durable option, typically finished with a hot-dip galvanization process. This zinc coating provides excellent corrosion resistance for general construction and outdoor use.
- Classification: Clips are available in heavy-duty and light-duty types to match the requirements of the application.

Product Features
Our wire rope clips are designed for reliability and durability, offering several key advantages:
- Reliable Fixing: Provides a strong and secure clamp to prevent wire rope from slipping under load when installed correctly.
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Available in stainless steel for maximum protection or hot-dip galvanized steel for long-lasting durability in outdoor environments.
- High Durability: Made from robust materials to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use in industrial and construction settings.
- Versatile Application: Widely used for creating secure loops (eyes) and for locking and connecting wire ropes in a variety of fields.
- Customizable Sizing: Available in a full range of standard metric (M4, M8, M10, etc.) and inch sizes to perfectly match your wire rope diameter.
Instructions for Safe Use
Correct installation is critical for the safety and performance of wire rope clips. These clips are generally not intended for overhead lifting applications unless specifically rated and approved for such use. Please adhere to the following guidelines:
- Match Clip to Rope Size: Strictly prohibit using clips that do not match the diameter of the wire rope. Always select the correct specification for your rope.
- Inspect Before Use: Before installation, thoroughly inspect the U-bolt, saddle, and threads for any signs of cracks, deformation, or excessive wear. Do not use damaged components.
- Correct Installation (“Never Saddle a Dead Horse”): When forming an eye, the saddle of the clip must be placed on the “live” or load-bearing end of the wire rope. The U-bolt must be placed on the “dead” or tail end of the rope. This ensures the live end is not crushed or weakened by the U-bolt.
- Even Tightening: Tighten the nuts evenly and alternately to the recommended torque. Ensure the wire rope is properly seated in the grooves.
- Do Not Overload: Strictly prohibit overloading the assembly beyond the wire rope’s working load limit. Avoid impact or shock loads.
- Regular Maintenance: Periodically check the nuts for tightness, as the rope may stretch and settle under load. Inspect the clips regularly for any defects such as cracks and replace the entire clip immediately if any are found.
