Crosby G-450 US Type Drop-Forged Wire Rope Clip – The Industry Standard for Secure Wire Rope Terminations
Key Features:
- Drop-Forged Construction: Made from high-quality carbon steel and heat-treated to ensure maximum strength, fatigue resistance, and structural integrity.
- US Type Design: Complies with U.S. federal specifications (FF-C-450) and meets ASME B30.9, OSHA, and Crosby’s own rigorous standards.
- Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Typically zinc-plated or galvanized for enhanced protection against rust and environmental wear.
- Optimized U-Bolt & Saddle Design: Features a forged saddle (never malleable iron) that distributes clamping force evenly across the wire rope, minimizing damage and slippage.
- Permanent Markings: Clearly stamped with size, working load limit (WLL), and Crosby® brand for traceability and compliance.
Common Applications:
- Creating eye splices or end loops in wire rope slings
- Securing guy wires, mooring lines, and crane ropes
- Lifting, towing, and rigging in industrial and marine environments
- Temporary or permanent wire rope terminations requiring high reliability
Installation Best Practices:
- Always place the saddle on the live end of the rope (“Never saddle a dead horse”).
- Use the correct number of clips per wire rope diameter (per manufacturer guidelines).
- Torque bolts to specified values and re-tighten after initial load.
- Inspect regularly for wear, corrosion, or deformation.
⚠️ Note: The Crosby G-450 is not recommended for overhead lifting of personnel unless specifically rated and certified for such use.
When safety, strength, and reliability are non-negotiable—choose the Crosby G-450 Wire Rope Clip, the trusted name in wire rope termination worldwide.
