Wire Rope Clips
Crosby G 450 US Type Drop Forged Wire Rope Clip
A drop-forged carbon steel wire rope clip in the Crosby G 450 US type, designed to secure wire rope eyes and loops with high clamping force and corrosion resistance. The body is forged for strength, and the full assembly is hot-dip galvanized to resist rust in outdoor and marine environments. Available from 1/8 inch to 3-1/2 inch rope size, it meets ASME B30.26 and EN13411:2003 standards. The saddle is always placed on the live end of the rope, and two or more clips are required per loop.

How It Compares With The Alternatives
An honest read on where this pattern wins and where another one would serve you better.
| Alternative | Honest Trade Off |
|---|---|
| Stamped or cast wire rope clips | Drop-forged construction offers higher strength and resistance to deformation under repeated loading compared to stamped or cast alternatives |
| Partially galvanized clips | Full hot-dip galvanizing protects all surfaces, including threads and bolt ends, reducing corrosion risk in harsh environments |
| Screw pin clips | The bolt and nut design allows for consistent torque application and better resistance to vibration than screw pin types |
| Non-galvanized clips | Full galvanizing extends service life in outdoor and marine applications where moisture and salt exposure are present |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect Drop Forged Wire Rope Clip
- Always place the saddle on the live end of the wire rope, never on the dead end
- Use at least two clips per loop, spaced according to manufacturer spacing guidelines
- Tighten the nuts evenly and fully to ensure even clamping force across the rope
- Inspect the clip after each use for signs of deformation, corrosion, or thread damage
- Replace the clip if the body shows bending, the saddle is cracked, or the galvanizing is worn through
- Do not reuse clips that have been subjected to overload or dynamic shock
- Verify the rope size matches the clip size range to maintain efficiency and safety

Answers
Drop Forged Wire Rope Clip FAQ
What is the efficiency rating of the Crosby G 450 clip?
It has an efficiency rating of 80% for rope sizes from 1/8" to 7/8", and 90% for sizes from 1" to 3-1/2", based on the catalog breaking strength of the wire rope.
Is the clip fully galvanized?
Yes. The entire clip, including the saddle, U-bolt, nut, and washer, is hot-dip galvanized to resist corrosion in outdoor and marine environments.
Can I use this clip on synthetic rope?
No. The Crosby G 450 is designed for wire rope only. Using it on synthetic rope may damage the rope and reduce safety due to sharp edges and high local stress.
What standard does this clip follow?
It complies with ASME B30.26 and EN13411:2003, which govern the design, testing, and marking of wire rope clips for lifting and rigging applications.
Can I get a Material Test Certificate?
Yes. A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is supplied with every order upon request, and every batch is proof load tested.
How many clips do I need per loop?
At least two clips are required per loop. For higher safety margins or larger rope sizes, three clips are recommended.
What finishes are available?
Standard finish is full hot-dip galvanizing. Custom finishes include zinc plating, powder coating, and electrophoretic black, available on request.
