Achieve Reliable Fastening with Quality Wire Rope Clamps

Wire rope clamps are commonly used in rigging and lifting operations. They are an essential tool for securing wire ropes and can be used in a variety of applications, including construction, shipping, and transportation.

Unfortunately, it is not uncommon to see a wire rope clip applied incorrectly. Some of the most common mistakes include:
1、Not torquing to the manufacturer’s expectations
2、Not using the recommended number of clips
3、Incorrect spacing between clips
4、Saddle is on the incorrect end of the rope
5、Incorrect amount of turnback when forming an eye
6、Using the wrong type of clip for the application
7、Not matching the clip size to the wire rope size
8、Failing to cycle the rope and regularly tighten the clips

Wire rope clamps are an important tool for securing wire ropes. They provide a strong and secure connection without the need for specialized tools or equipment. In many applications, the use of wire rope clamps is essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of rigging and lifting operations.

First, wrap the wire rope around the thimble or to form the eye, and turn back the correct amount of rope—as specified by the manufacturer.

Apply the first wire rope clip at the end of the dead end, with one base width of space. Use a torque wrench to tighten the nuts on the wire rope clip.

When applying the second clip (if required), place it as close to the eye loop or thimble as possible. Again, be sure to properly tighten the nuts of the clip with a torque wrench.

If more than two clips are required, the clips should be evenly spaced between the two that were placed first.
