self locking wire rope grip free sample

Can’t seem to find the wire rope grip you need to get finished? We know that searching for a decent, reliable gripple self locking wire rope grip can be trickier than you might initially think! We recommend looking through everything here before making your purchase, to buy the best grip for your needs.

Each stainless steel grip shows the working load limit and minimum breaking load and also a working load limit which is 1/5 of the MBL, which are visible for safety reasons. They are used by simply pushing the wire rope of the correct diameter through the tunnels, they will be held in place straight away via the spring jaw/wedge type mechanism. Once in the required location these gripples work even better by quickly tightening the screws to stop any unwanted movement of wedges. This then tightly secures the rope to its intended place until unscrewed for release..

This pneumatic grip features an industry-unique integrated open/close valve for quick sample engagement and disengagement, an added benefit for repetitive applications. An air connection kit, consisting of air tubing and fittings, is available as an option. Use a pair of these pneumatic grips with a force gauge and a test stand to create a complete testing system.

Cable Looping Gripper is a self-locking device to create an adjustable loop that’s changeable at any time. This allows for reuse of both the Cable Looping Gripper and the steel cable. It makes the workflow quicker and easier when changing signage.

Cable Looping Gripper is regarded as the perfect ceiling sign hanging hardware for creating steel loops by savvy retailers, grocers, installation crews, manufacturers, event planners and more.

While these clips are not designed to be used in an overhead lifting situation (swage sleeves should be used instead), wire rope clips are heavy-duty wire rope clips that used for sustaining overhead loads. Examples include guy lines, support lines, scaffolding, etc.

U.S. Cargo Control offers two types of clips: standard (or U-Bolt) and fist-grip (or "double saddle"). Our line includes high-quality clips that work for any situation, including:

Install the first clip at the dead end side of the rope. The "U" side of the clip must always cover the dead end of the rope, and the "saddle" side of the clip on the live end of the rope. Place the nuts of the clip and tighten them using a torque wrench.

Place more clips on the rope if you need more than two on the wire rope. Be sure to space them evenly between the end clips. Finally, tighten the end clips and apply tension to reach the recommended torque for the wire rope.

Re: Wire rope clips on suspension scaffolds; safety latches on large crane hooks; hanging scaffolds - order of assembly; jobsite fabricated lifting accessories - criteria; and horizontal lifelines: use of wire rope clips, anchorages, number of persons allowed to be connected, requirements relating to sag, and use of synthetic rope.

Question 1(a) - (c): When using horizontal lifelines as part of personal fall arrest systems, what type of wire rope clips does OSHA require, and how many clips must be used? Additionally, what are the horizontal spacing criteria for the uprights?

Subpart M does not specify what type of wire rope clip or how many clips/clamps must be used when installing a horizontal lifeline. However, under §1926.502(d)(8), these decisions must be made under the supervision of a qualified person when the system is designed. The determination of the horizontal spacing criteria for uprights is also left to the qualified person"s supervisory approval.1

In an August 28, 2000 letter to Mr. Troxell2, we addressed the related issue of using wire rope clips on a wire rope guardrail. In that letter, we cautioned that, as a practical matter, it is unlikely that the criteria requirements for guardrails under §1926.502(b) could be met unless the manufacturer"s recommendations for the number of clips to be used on wire ropes of different diameters were followed (for example, the Crosby Group, Inc., general catalog 2000 edition, has tables showing their recommendations for their clips). We also pointed out that OSHA"s standard for rigging equipment used for material handling, 29 CFR 1926.251, has a table showing the number of clips required for wire rope ½-inch and greater. We noted that although that standard does not apply to wire rope used for guardrails, when designing a rope system to meet the §1926.502 guardrail requirements, following the tables at §1926.251 will normally ensure that there will be enough clips.

Question 2: For a horizontal lifeline used as part of a personal fall arrest system during steel erection work, how tight should the lifeline be, and may synthetic rope be used for the horizontal lifeline?

With regard to the use of synthetic ropes, §1926.502(d)(14) specifies that, when using non-wire rope, synthetic rope (rather than nature fiber rope) must be used:

Question 5: Under §1926.451(d)(12)(v) and (vi), when wire rope clips are used on suspension scaffolds, "(v) U-bolt clips shall not be used at the point of suspension for any scaffold hoist," and "(vi) when U-bolt clips are used, the U-bolt shall be placed over the dead end of the rope, and the saddle shall be placed over the live end of the rope." Does §1926.451(d)(12)(v) contradict paragraph (d)(12)(vi)?

No. By its terms, §1926.451(d)(12)(v) prohibits the use of U-bolt clips at the point of suspension for any scaffold. The scaffold standard does not prohibit using U-bolt clips elsewhere. However, when using them elsewhere, under §1926.451(d)(12)(vi), the U-bolt must be placed over the dead end of the rope, and the saddle placed over the live end of the rope.

Question 6: Under §1926.251(c)(4)(iii), are eyes in wire rope bridles and slings or bull wires formed by wire rope clips permitted when used to lift scrap boxes or pendants?

This provision specifically prohibits eyes in wire rope bridles and slings or bull wires being formed by wire rope clips. There is no exception for lifting scrap boxes or pendants.

In our view, the industry recognizes that the following engineering factors, among others, must be considered when designing horizontal high-lines: the span and sag of the wire rope line, the weight of the load being lifted, the initial tension of the rope line, and the size of the columns.

A hook with another type of closing device, i.e., a hook with a spring-loaded gate or another type of safety hook that would provide the same level of safety as a safety hook with a self-closing latch. (At 63 FR 43464, August 13, 1998.)

Knotting wire rope compromises the integrity of the strength of the wire rope and is therefore prohibited. Based on the picture provided, which showed a knot in wire rope secured by a U-bolt clip, this practice would be in violation of §1926.251(c)(3).

In addition, note that several other significant provisions in §1926.550(g) of Subpart N may affect the number of employees allowed in a personnel platform. These provisions include §1926.550(g)(4), which limits the number of employees on platforms to those required to do the work, and sets other requirements as well. Provisions most relevant to your question include §1926.550(g)(3)(i)(E) (limits total weight of loaded personnel platform and related rigging to 50 percent of rated capacity for the radius and configuration of the crane); §1926.550(g)(3)(i)(B) (load line capacities); §1926.550(g)(4)(i)(C) (support criteria applicable to the personnel platform itself); §1926.550(g)(4)(iii) (load limitation of the personnel platform); and §1926.550(g)(4)(iii)(C) (personnel platform rigging requirements). Note that this list is not comprehensive -- please see the actual text of §1926.550(g) for the other provisions.
