Wire Rope Loop Fittings

Heavy Duty Wire Rope Thimbles—For Lifting

Also known as heavy-pattern thimbles, these can be used to reinforce the loop of a sling.

Medium Duty Wire Rope Thimbles—Not for Lifting

Also known as standard-pattern thimbles, these provide better protection against fraying than light duty thimbles.

Light Duty Wire Rope Thimbles—Not for Lifting

These thimbles are also known as thin pattern thimbles.

Open-End Light Duty Wire
Rope Thimbles—Not for Lifting

The open-end design leaves more room for connections than other thimbles.

Closed-End Light Duty Wire
Rope Thimbles—Not for Lifting

Smooth rounded edges and an endless design prevent snags.

Wire Rope Clamp and Thimble Kits—Not for Lifting

Kits include clamps and thimbles to support a wire rope loop and prevent it from fraying. Clamps must be oriented with the saddle on the long (live) end and U-bolt on the short (dead) end.

Wire Rope Clamps with Thimbles—Not for Lifting

A clamp and thimble in one convenient fitting simplifies installation while providing support and fray protection to the wire rope loop. Use a torque wrench to tighten the clamp.

Crosby Forged Double-Saddle
Wire Rope Clamps—Not for Lifting

Constructed with a saddle for both the long (live) end and the short (dead) end, these clamps apply equal pressure without crimping or crushing the wire rope, so orientation doesn't matter. Also known as fist grip wire rope clips.

Forged Stainless Steel Single-Saddle
Wire Rope Clamps—Not for Lifting

These clamps have a forged fabrication and are reliable in critical applications. They are not for making slings. These must be oriented with the saddle on the long (live) end and U-bolt on the short (dead) end. They’re also known as wire rope clips.

Forged One-Piece Wire Rope Clamps—Not for Lifting

Install these clamps without any specific orientation, slide the nut over the rope and tighten it onto the threaded halves with a torque wrench.

Easy-Install Wire Rope Clamps—Not for Lifting

Make a removable loop without specialty tools for use in noncritical applications, such as fencing. Also known as tiller clamps.

Crosby Forged Single-Saddle
Wire Rope Clamps—Not for Lifting

These clamps must be oriented with the saddle on the long (live) end and the U-bolt on the short (dead) end. They’re also known as wire rope clips.

Cast Wire Rope Clamps—Not for Lifting

Use in noncritical applications, such as fencing, where the strength of a forged clamp is not required. Install clamps so the saddle is on the long (live) end and the U-bolt is on the short (dead) end. They’re also known as wire rope clips.

Quick-Adjust Wire Rope Clamps—Not for Lifting

Create a loop by feeding the wire rope through the clamp and tighten the set screw to secure it in place. Loosen the set screw to quickly adjust the loop. Also known as Gripple rope clamps. They are for use in noncritical applications, such as fencing.
