What are wire rope clips used for?

Wire rope clips are a common and necessary piece of rigging hardware when it comes to using wire rope and forming end terminations. They are used to form a wire rope eye or to connect two cables together

How should wire rope clips be installed?

STEP 1: Apply the first cable clip one base width from the dead end of the wire rope. The U-part goes over the dead end, while the live end rests in the clip saddle. Tighten the nuts evenly to the recommended torque. STEP 2: Apply the second clip as close to the loop as possible.

How many wire rope clips do I need?

At least three clips should be used when making any prepared loop or thimble-eye termination for wire rope (especially for overhead lifting). All three clips must be installed with the saddle part on the live end of the rope.
