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.

Easy-Install Wire Rope Clamps—Not for Lifting

With Screw

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

Zinc-plated steel and iron clamps are mildly corrosion resistant.

Nickel-plated steel and iron are more corrosion resistant than zinc-plated clamps.

Warning: Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.

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.

Warning: Test all assemblies for required strength before use. Do not use with coated rope unless the coating is removed.

Wire Rope Pulling Clamps

Attach these clamps by running a wire rope through the jaws to create an attachment point anywhere along the wire rope. The eye is often used with a ratchet puller.

Wire and Cable Pulling Clamps

Clamp With Serrated Jaw

Clamp With Serrated Jaw And Latch

Clamp with Smooth Jaw

Clamp With Spring-Loaded Jaw

Clamp with Double V Jaw

Pull wire and cable while maintaining tension until the line can be permanently anchored. Use these clamps with stranded bare steel wire and cable.

Use clamps with serrated jaws in applications where marring can be tolerated.

Use clamps with smooth jaws when marring needs to be kept to a minimum. They are often used on wire and cable conductors.

Clamps with spring-loaded jaws grip the cable before tensioning to aid proper positioning.

Clamps with a latch provide a more secure grip that prevents wire and cable from slipping out of the jaws.

Warning: Do not use as an anchor.
