Heavy-Duty Wire Rope Clips / Bulldog Grips (3 mm to 40 mm)
Engineered for creating secure, field-assembled mechanical eyes or joining wire rope ends, these heavy-duty steel wire rope clips (commonly known as U-bolt clips or Bulldog grips) provide dependable clamping efficiency without needing specialized swaging or crimping tools. Available to fit wire rope diameters from 3 mm up to 40 mm, they are essential hardware components across rigging, guy wire tensioning, and cable terminations.
Key Features:
 * Three-Part Assembly: Consists of a threaded U-bolt, a drop-forged corrugated saddle (bridge), and two heavy-duty hex nuts designed to clamp the wire rope securely against the live end.
 * Drop-Forged / Cast Options: Available in drop-forged high-tensile carbon steel (for heavy-duty overhead lifting and critical loads) or malleable cast iron (for static tie-down and light utility use).
 * Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Hot-dip galvanized or electro-galvanized coating provides long-lasting protection against rust, saltwater, and harsh outdoor weather exposure.
 * High Efficiency Termination: Delivers up to 80% to 90% efficiency of the wire rope's breaking strength when installed according to recommended spacing and torque rules ("Never saddle a dead horse").
 * Standard Compliance: Built and tested in accordance with international rigging specifications (EN 13411-5 / US Federal Specification FF-C-450).
Applications:
 * Forming temporary or permanent eye loops at wire rope ends around thimbles
 * Securing winch cables, crane hoists, and overhead draglines
 * Anchoring guy wires for telecommunication towers, masts, and structural rigging
 * Cargo lashing, marine mooring lines, perimeter safety fencing, and timber logging
