Application for DAWSON Wire Rope Clip

DAWSON wire rope clip is an extremely versatile mechanical device that can be used to help support and move an object or load. Whether for use on cranes or for other lifting applications, it's important to have a solid understanding of the rigging components that are being used to attach to and lift a load.

Wire rope clips can be used to form a load bearing eye at the end of a cable or wire rope, or to connect two cables together with a lap splice. Wire rope clips are popular because they can be installed in the field and provide 80-90% efficiency of the rope breaking strength, depending on the diameter of the wire rope.

As a general guideline, they are NOT to be used for making slings, as ASME B30.9 Slings standard states: “Mechanical wire rope terminations requiring periodic adjustment to maintain efficiency shall not be used to fabricate slings.”

Examples of situations where a wire rope clip could be utilized include:

· Wire rope end termination on a crane cable or winch

· To run a length of wire rope through an eye bolt or shackle

· Perimeter cables on docks, parking lots, etc.
