What Our Clients Say
FAQ
What is a US Type G-450 Drop Forged Wire Rope Clip used for?
The G-450 wire rope clip is used to secure the end of a wire rope back to the standing part, forming loops or eyes. It’s commonly used in lifting, rigging, and material-handling systems where maximum load safety is required.
What makes G-450 clips different from malleable wire rope clips?
Unlike malleable clips, G-450 clips are drop forged, making them much stronger and more durable. They meet U.S. Federal standards for use in critical applications, including overhead lifting, where malleable clips are not recommended.
How should I install a G-450 wire rope clip correctly?
Place the U-bolt over the dead end of the rope and position the saddle on the live end. Tighten nuts evenly and use the recommended number of clips based on rope diameter. Retighten after load testing to ensure a firm grip.
What size clip should I select for my wire rope?
Match the clip size to the exact rope diameter. Incorrect sizing may cause slippage or reduce the rope’s breaking strength. Our technical team provides guidance and charts for precise selection.
Can I use G-450 clips in marine or outdoor environments?
Yes. The hot-dip galvanized finish protects against corrosion and oxidation, making these clips suitable for offshore, marine, and outdoor industrial conditions.
What is the standard lead time for bulk G-450 clip orders?
Standard sizes are ready for shipment within 7–10 business days. Custom orders, branding, or coatings may take 2–3 weeks depending on production load and order volume.
Are test certificates or quality documents available?
Yes. Each batch of G-450 clips comes with material certificates and load test documentation upon request, ensuring complete traceability and compliance with industry standards.
