Applications

LIFTING SLING FITTINGS
Wire rope clips are used on wire rope eye-loop

connections and on complete loops. They are used in
end-to-end connections where socketing or splicing
is not feasible and when a temporary joint is required.

More information about the range, certification and finish, please go to the introduction of chapter 3
lifting slings.

Design

Green Pin wire rope clips are drop forged and have a bridge with grooves to tighten the wire rope properly
®
in the clip; the DIN wire rope clips have a malleable base, without grooves.
Wire rope clips are generally marked with:
3 .1 • manufacturer’s symbol - e.g. GP
• wire rope diameter in mm or inches - e.g. 13 or /2”
1
• traceability code - e.g. A1
Instructions for use

Wire rope clips should be inspected before use to ensure that:
• all markings are legible;
• a wire rope clip with the correct dimensions has been selected;
• the nuts or any other locking system cannot vibrate out of position;
• the wire rope clip is free from nicks, gouges and cracks;

Never modify, repair or reshape a wire rope clip by machining, welding, heating or bending as this may affect
their performance.

The wire rope clip should be fitted to the wire rope as shown in below figures. The bridge of the wire rope
clip should always be placed on the load bearing part of the rope. The U-bolt of the clip should be placed
on the rope tail, also known as the dead end of the rope. Turn back enough wire rope length so that the
required minimum number of clips can be installed according to the instructions below.

The first clip must be placed one bridge width from the turned-back rope tail or dead end of the rope,
according to figure 1. Tighten the nuts to the specified torque.
