Stainless Malleable Wire Rope Clips

The Stainless Malleable Wire Rope Clips secures the end of the wire rope cable to the wire rope cable. Made from stainless steel. Saddle and nuts should be on the opposite side of the terminated end and make sure that all the clips are on the same side and loops are on the side of the terminated end. No warranty or liability for cable, clips, fasteners, or any other rigging past the purchase date. Only used in non-critical applications. ASME, OSHA, & ASTM recommend only forged clamps for critical applications.

It is ultimately the responsibility of the user to determine a working load limit for each application.

Do not ever use wire rope sold by or made by BH-USA or any product made by BH-USA to lift humans in any way.

7 x 19 Aircraft Cable

BH-USA recommends 7 x 19 aircraft cables for boat lift applications. 7 x 19 means the rope has seven strands and there are nineteen wires in each strand. Always consider at least a 5:1 safety factor when figuring working loads. A test certificate for all cables sold by BH-USA is available upon request. Aircraft cables are not suitable for use in aircraft controls.

Clamp Styles

Drop Forged – Heated steel hammered into shape giving linear grain structure and greater strength. In the drop-forged clamps, the saddles are the drop-forged parts. Saddle pieces hot-dipped galvanized. Electro-galvanized (zinc plated) nuts and bolts.

Malleable Iron – Saddles made from a poorer strength grade of steel cast into shape. Cast malleable saddles can also yield under greater loads and cause the wire rope or cable to slip through and potentially fail. Also malleable clamps, saddles, u-bolts, & nuts are stainless steel.

Only used in non-critical applications.

ASME, OSHA, & ASTM recommend only forged clamps for critical applications. For 112ant or critical applications for overhead lifting or suspending always use standard drop-forged type or drop-forged grip type clips.

Never use malleable iron-type clips for overhead lifting or suspending.
