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


These must be oriented with the saddle on the long (live) end and U-bolt on the short (dead) end. Their forged fabrication makes these clamps more reliable in critical applications such as tie downs and support lines. They’re also known as wire rope clips. Clamps have a thick coating for corrosion resistance.
Warning: Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.

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. Their forged fabrication makes these clamps more reliable in critical applications such as tie downs and support lines.
Warning: Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.

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


These clamps apply equal pressure without crimping or crushing the wire rope, so orientation doesn't matter. They provide a saddle for both the long (live) and the short (dead) end of the wire rope. Their forged fabrication makes these clamps more reliable in critical applications such as tie downs and support lines. Also known as fist grip wire rope clips.
Warning: Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.

Wire Rope Clamp and Thimble Kits—Not for Lifting



Kits include clamps and thimbles to protect the inside of wire rope loops from fraying. Clamps must be oriented with the saddle on the long (live) end and U-bolt on the short (dead) end.
Galvanized steel and iron clamps and thimbles are corrosion resistant.
Warning: Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.
