Heavy-Duty Performance Without the Premium Price – Forged Imported Wire Rope Clips
Our forged imported wire rope clips offer a strong, reliable solution for securing wire rope terminations in a wide range of non-lifting applications. These heavy-duty clips are available in sizes from 1/8" to 1-1/2", and are an excellent alternative to more expensive, name-brand clips—offering comparable specs at a fraction of the price thanks to imported manufacturing.
Ideal for fencing, guying, utility rigging, and general cable assemblies, these clips are forged for superior durability and built to handle rugged environments. If you don’t require a U.S.-made or name-brand product, these clips are a smart, cost-effective choice.
Key Features:
- Forged construction: Built for heavy-duty strength and durability
- Wide size range: From 1/8" up to 1-1/2" to fit various cable diameters
- Corrosion-resistant finish: Suitable for outdoor and industrial environments
- U-bolt with hex nuts: Clamps securely over the dead end of the rope
- Affordable and dependable: Comparable performance to premium models at a lower cost
Important Safety Note:
Not for overhead lifting. While these clips are heavy-duty and forged for strength, no wire rope clip should be used in overhead lifting applications. Always follow proper installation guidelines and torque specifications.
Common Applications:
- Wire rope terminations (non-lifting)
- Fencing and barrier cable systems
- Guy lines and structural bracing
- Utility rigging and marine use
- Temporary or semi-permanent cable assemblies

How to Install Wire Rope Clips:
- Turn back the specified amount of rope from the thimble or loop. Place the first clip one base-width from the dead end. Position the U-bolt over the dead end of the rope, with the saddle on the live end. Tighten nuts evenly, alternating from one to the other, until reaching recommended torque.
- If using two clips, place the second clip as close to the loop or thimble as possible. Tighten nuts evenly and alternately to the recommended torque.
- If using more than two clips, apply the second clip near the loop as above, but only finger-tighten. Add the remaining clips evenly spaced between the first two. Once positioned, tighten all nuts evenly, alternating between sides, to the specified torque.
- Apply initial load equal to the expected working load. Inspect the assembly to ensure clips are properly spaced and oriented. Retighten all nuts to the recommended torque to ensure secure installation.
