Wire Rope Clips
US Type Drop Forged Wire Rope Clips G 450
A drop-forged carbon steel wire rope clip in US type design, also known as Crosby G450, with a U-bolt and saddle configuration. It is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance and designed to secure wire rope eyes or loops. Available from 1/8" to 3 1/2" rope diameter, it meets ASME B30.26 and EN13411:2003 standards. The saddle must be placed on the live end of the rope to prevent failure.

Key Benefits
What US Type Drop Forged Wire Rope Clips G 450 Gives You
- Drop-forged construction provides higher strength and impact resistance than machined or cast clips
- Hot-dip galvanizing on the entire clip resists rust and corrosion in harsh environments
- Efficiency rating of 80% for 1/8” to 7/8” sizes and 90% for 1” to 3 1/2” sizes per ASME B30.26
- Saddle positioned on the live end of the rope prevents slippage and failure under load
- U-bolt design with two nuts allows for secure clamping and consistent tension
- Standard 4:1 design factor applied to the working load limit unless otherwise stated
- One-piece forged body reduces the risk of cracking or splitting under dynamic loads

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 |
|---|---|
| Cast wire rope clip | Forged clips have higher strength and impact resistance, with no porosity or internal defects common in cast parts |
| Machined clip | Forged clips are stronger and more cost-effective than machined ones, with better grain structure and fatigue life |
| Non-galvanized clip | Hot-dip galvanizing extends service life in corrosive environments but adds weight and cost |
| Screw pin shackle | This clip is for rope termination, not for joining shackles; it does not replace a shackle for dynamic load transfer |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect US Type Drop Forged Wire Rope Clips G 450
- Always place the saddle on the live end of the wire rope, never on the dead end
- Use at least two clips per eye, spaced according to manufacturer spacing guidelines
- Tighten the nuts evenly and torque to the recommended value to prevent over-stressing
- Inspect the clip before each use for signs of wear, coating damage, or deformation
- Replace the clip if the body shows cracks, the saddle is bent, or the galvanizing is severely worn
- Do not reuse clips that have been loaded beyond their safe working load

Answers
US Type Drop Forged Wire Rope Clips G 450 FAQ
What is the efficiency rating of these clips?
80% for 1/8” to 7/8” sizes and 90% for 1” to 3 1/2” sizes per ASME B30.26.
Can the saddle be placed on the dead end?
No. Placing the saddle on the dead end causes the rope to slip and can lead to sudden failure. Always saddle the live end.
Are these clips fully galvanized?
Yes. The entire clip is hot-dip galvanized to resist corrosion and rust.
What standards do these clips meet?
ASME B30.26 and EN13411:2003 for wire rope clips used in lifting and rigging applications.
Can you supply Material Test Certificates?
Yes. A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is supplied on request with each order.
What is the minimum number of clips needed per eye?
At least two clips are required per eye, spaced according to the rope diameter and standard spacing guidelines.
How are they packed for export?
Cartons on pallets as standard. We can configure carton count and pallet pattern to suit your warehouse or shipping needs. Free storage in Qingdao for up to two months is available for shipment consolidation.
