Wire Rope Clips & Wire
Rope Clamps
Wire rope clips, also called wire rope clamps, are cable hardware fittings used to form loop ends in wire rope assemblies, particularly for field-installed applications. A wire rope clip typically consists of a U-bolt, saddle, and nuts that secure the cable into a loop without traditional swaging equipment.
Lexco Cable supplies drop forged wire rope clips, malleable wire rope clips, stainless steel wire rope clips, tiller clamps, Safe-Line clamps, bridge clamps, fist grip clips, and wire stops, available in galvanized steel, stainless steel Type 304, and stainless steel Type 316. Common applications include rigging, industrial cable assemblies, safety cables, suspension systems, and custom wire rope assemblies where field-installed loop formation is needed.
Choosing the Right Wire Rope Clip or Clamp
Wire rope clip and clamp selection depends on cable diameter, load requirements, and installation environment. Drop forged wire rope clips are typically stronger and better suited to load-bearing or heavy-duty applications, while malleable clips work for lighter-duty or non-critical uses. Stainless steel wire rope clips, particularly Type 316, hold up well in outdoor, marine, and other corrosive environments, while galvanized wire rope clips are a common choice for general industrial use.
Because wire rope clips are field-installable without swaging equipment, they’re a practical option for rigging, suspension, and safety cable applications where a secure loop needs to be formed on-site.
