Wire Rope Grip – Italian Type, Forged Rope Clip
Premium-Grade Termination for Maximum Safety and Reliability

Key Features:

• Drop-Forged Alloy Steel Construction: Heat-treated for maximum strength, fatigue resistance, and long service life under heavy loads and harsh conditions.
• Italian-Type Design: Features a distinctive curved saddle and optimized U-bolt geometry that provides even clamping pressure across the wire rope, minimizing damage and slippage.
• Secure Grip: Engineered to firmly clamp the “live end” of the wire rope, ensuring the termination remains intact under dynamic or static loads.
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Typically zinc-plated or hot-dip galvanized for enhanced protection against rust and environmental wear.
• Permanent Markings: Clearly stamped with size, working load limit (WLL), and manufacturer identification for traceability and compliance.

Common Applications:

• Creating eye terminations for wire rope slings
• Securing guy wires, mooring lines, and crane ropes
• Lifting, towing, and rigging in construction, oil & gas, and maritime operations
• Temporary or permanent wire rope end-fixing requiring high integrity

Safety & Installation Best Practices:

• Always install the saddle on the live (load-bearing) end of the rope—“Never saddle a dead horse.”
• Use the correct number of clips per wire rope diameter as per manufacturer or industry standards (e.g., EN 13414, ISO 4309).
• Torque bolts to specified values and re-tighten after initial load application.
• Inspect regularly for wear, corrosion, or deformation—replace immediately if compromised.

⚠️ Note: Not recommended for overhead lifting of personnel unless specifically certified for such use.

Engineered to European standards and built for strength—the Italian Type Forged Wire Rope Grip delivers trusted performance in every critical connection.
