Collection: Stainless Steel Wire Rope Grips

A wire rope grip, also known as a cable grip or clamp, is a tool used to secure or fasten the ends of a wire rope. It consists of two main components: a U-bolt and a pair of metal plates, which work together to clamp the rope firmly in place. Here's how it works:

1. Placement of the Wire Rope: The wire rope is threaded through the U-bolt, with both ends of the rope coming together in a loop. The rope is typically doubled back on itself, creating a closed loop at the end of the cable.

2. Clamping: The two metal plates are then placed over the wire rope, and the U-bolt is passed through the holes in these plates. The U-bolt is tightened using nuts, which draw the plates closer together, pressing down on the rope.

3. Securing the Rope: The plates hold the rope tightly against itself, preventing it from slipping or unraveling. This creates a secure, permanent loop at the end of the rope, making it ideal for applications where you need to attach the rope to a fixed point or another piece of equipment.

Wire rope grips are commonly used in rigging, lifting, and other heavy-duty applications where strong and secure connections are needed.
