Selecting wire rope clips starts with the rope, the termination design, and the application requirements. The right purchase must account for clip style, material, rope diameter, and the number of clips required per connection.
Hanes Supply offers wire rope clips from Crosby, Chicago Hardware, CM, and more, plus additional galvanized drop-forged options. Whether you are matching a specified part number or comparing alternatives for an approved assembly, our selection helps you source the hardware for your project.
Compare U-Bolt and Fist Grip Wire Rope Clips
Crosby G-450 Red-U-Bolt Clips
Crosby G-450 Red-U-Bolt clips are a practical choice when your specification calls for a conventional U-bolt termination. We supply sizes for small-diameter cable and larger wire rope, allowing purchasers to match the clip to the specified rope diameter.
With this design, correct orientation is critical: the saddle bears against the live end of the rope, and the U-bolt contacts the dead end. Choose the exact size and review the manufacturer’s application instructions before ordering.
Crosby G-429 Fist Grip Clips
Our selection also includes Chicago Hardware drop-forged steel clips and CM forged steel clips. Additional galvanized drop-forged listings offer further purchasing options when the project specification allows alternatives.
When comparing brands, match the required material, finish, rope compatibility, and documentation. A similar appearance or matching nominal size does not mean two products have identical application requirements.

Match Clip Size and Finish to the Job
Select clips based on their stated wire rope size or approved size range. Do not choose an oversized clip just because it fits around the rope. Also confirm that the manufacturer’s instructions cover your rope’s construction; diameter alone does not establish compatibility.
Galvanized clips protect steel hardware from corrosion. Your purchasing decision should still account for moisture exposure, the surrounding environment, and the assembly’s inspection requirements. If the project specifies a particular finish or material, confirm it at the individual product level before approving a substitute.
Order Enough Clips for Every Termination
Clip quantity is a purchasing detail that is easy to overlook. The minimum applies to each termination, not to the entire length of rope. Count every termination in the project, then use the instructions for the selected manufacturer, model, size, and rope construction to determine your order quantity.
Before placing an order, confirm:
• Rope Details: Diameter, construction, and any coating.
• Clip Identification: Brand, model, size, material, and finish.
• Assembly Requirements: Clip count, turnback length, and spacing.
• Installation Resources: Required torque, suitable tools, and inspection access.
• Order Details: Unit of sale, total quantity, and required delivery date.
Some products include minimum clip counts. Those figures indicate assembly requirements; check the package quantity separately to determine how many individual clips you are buying.
Confirm the Termination Is Appropriate for the Application
Use wire rope clips only where the intended termination is permitted. For construction work covered by OSHA 1926.251, do not use clips to form eyes in wire rope bridles, slings, or bull wires. If you need a lifting sling, select a properly fabricated and rated assembly.
A clip termination also does not automatically preserve the rope’s full breaking strength. Use the manufacturer’s applicable termination efficiency and the required design criteria when evaluating the assembly
