Self-Locking Gripple Wire Rope Gripis a simple, effective alternative for terminating wire rope assemblies. It completely eliminates the need for traditional wire rope clips.

Strong- stronger than the wire rope, the rope will break first. Fast- installed in seconds, no need for additional tools. Easy-self-locking, simple push-fit, which cannot be installed incorrectly. Safe-consistent, reliable and very efficient, whether installed by skilled or unskilled labor. Perfect alternatives to ferrules, swage sleeves, and wire rope clips for repairing and tensioning wire fences and stair railings.

Crosby wire rope clips have an efficiency rating of 80%, for 1/8” - 7/8” sizes, and 90% for sizes 1” through 3-1/2”, based on the MBL of the wire rope. Entire Clip-galvanised to resist corrosive and rusting action

Wire rope grips are quite a practical accessory to have when using wire rope, or rope of any type. Rope grips are normally utilised where splicing or socketing of the wire isn’t practical. Rope grips are ideal for providing a temporary or provisional joint. Securing 2 pieces of rope together tightly they make a solid connection. They may be used to form a loop at the end of the rope to create a firm anchor point.

A wire rope grip is utilised most commonly to fasten the loose end back on itself. A wire rope grip typically consists of 4 simple parts; a ‘u’ shaped bolt, a saddle and a pair of securing nuts. The 2 layers of the wire rope are positioned within the u bolt. Next the forged saddle subsequently fixes on top of the wire ropes on to the bolt. Then the 2 nuts then secure in place. 3 or more clamps are sometimes used to terminate a wire rope.

Rope Services Direct can supply wire rope grips in a wide range of sizes to suit a vast range of wire rope/cable diameters. Both mild steel and stainless steel varieties are available.

We supply these from 3mm to 50mm (mild steel) or 2mm to 24mm (stainless steel). Choosing the right size of grip is important so do call our experts on 01384 78004 to discuss your requirements and place your order today. We also supply a wide range of alternative wire rope fittingsto suit a range of applications.

As the name suggests our wire rope grips are mainly used to firmly grip wire rope and are frequently used to hold and then join two pieces of wire rope together. To use wire rope clips you simple loosen the nuts to release the ‘U’ bolt just enough so that you can insert your rope. Next you need to insert your two pieces of wire rope, or one wire rope bent to form an eye; when both sections of wire rope are correctly located, you can tighten the nuts, this will move the saddle up to compress the wire rope and therefore hold it firmly in place until it is removes. Always use a wrench to ensure the nuts are completely tightened, hand tightening is not strong enough for a secure fit.

Wire rope clips, also called wire rope clamps, consist of a U-shaped bolt, a metal saddle piece, and two nuts. They are used in wire rope loop assemblies and are ideal for field installations. We offer several models to meet your specific needs.

Wire rope clips are widely used for making end terminations. Clips are available in two basic designs; the U-Bolt and fist grip. The efficiency of both types is the same.

When using U-Bolt clips, extreme care must be exercised to make certain that they are attached correctly; Incorrect installation can reduce the working load limit by 40%. Below are general guidelines for installing wire rope clips.

The saddle shall be placed on the live end of the wire rope, with the U-bolt on the dead-end side—Remember the well-known saying: “Never saddle a dead horse.” Use at least two or three wire rope clips to secure the ends properly to the length of the rope, and tighten nuts evenly one by one until reaching the recommended torque.

Step 1. Turn back a specified amount of rope from the thimble or loop. The first clip must be placed one bridge width from the turned back rope tailor dead end of the rope, Apply U-Bolt over dead end of wire rope – live end rests in the saddle (Never saddle a dead horse!) Tighten nuts evenly, alternate from one nut to the other until reaching the recommended torque.

Step 3. When three or more clips are required, space additional clips equally between the first two – take up rope slack – tighten nuts on each U-Bolt evenly, alternating from one nut to the other until reaching recommended torque.

In accordance with good rigging and maintenance practices, the wire rope end termination should be inspected periodically for wear, abuse, and general adequacy. Periodically re-tightening of the nuts must be done at 10.000 cycles (heavy usage), 20.000 e.g. every 3 months, 6 months, annually.

Malleable clips are to be used for making eye termination assemblies only with the right regular lay wire rope and only for light-duty uses with small applied loads, such as handrails, fencing, guard rails, etc.

Galvanised Wire rope grips are a fitting which is used for wire rope eye-loop connections as well as end-to-end connections, complete loops even used when a temporary join is required. For use the wire rope grip should always be placed on the load bearing part of the rope. The bolt clip is to be placed at the tail of the rope also known as the dead end.

Suncor’s wire rope clips and clamps are available in sizes ranging from 1/16″ to 1-1/4″ for all projects, large or small. They are made from grade 316 or grade 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability and are ideal for marine, industrial and architectural wire rope projects.

We also offer a complete line of wire rope tools and stainless steel accessories including wire rope cutters, thimbles and turnbuckles. For more information, be sure to read our helpful Wire Rope Load Limit and Turnback Guide.
