About Crosby Wire Rope Clips

Crosby G-413 and S-413 wire rope clips are forged products - not cast - which is the distinction that matters in load-bearing service. The forging process aligns the steel grain structure along the load path, producing a clip that handles the bending and clamping forces without the porosity risk of cast alternatives.

Wire rope clips create a mechanical termination on the dead end of a wire rope, allowing field fabrication of eye loops and connections without swaging equipment. The U-bolt threads through the saddle, sandwiching the rope between the saddle surface and the nuts. Installation spacing, torque values, and the number of clips required for a given rope diameter are specified in Crosby's manufacturer documentation and governed by ASME B30.26-2015 (Rigging Hardware).

Every Crosby G-413 clip carries the manufacturer identification and size marking per ASME B30.26-2015 (Rigging Hardware) requirements.

Types of Crosby Wire Rope Clips

G-413 Forged Wire Rope Clips (Carbon Steel)

The G-413 is the standard Crosby wire rope clip - forged carbon steel, hot-dip galvanized or self-colored depending on model. Covers wire rope diameters from 1/8" through 3-1/2". These are the clips you'll find on crane back-stays, guy wires, and field-fabricated rigging connections across industrial, marine, and construction rigging applications.

S-413 Forged Wire Rope Clips (Stainless Steel)

The S-413 is the stainless steel version of the G-413, suited to corrosive environments where carbon steel's galvanized coating isn't sufficient for the service exposure. Marine deck rigging, chemical processing, and food-grade installations where stainless hardware is specified are the typical applications.

Why Crosby for Wire Rope Clips

Forging versus casting is the core reason Crosby G-413 clips get specified in rated rigging assemblies. Cast clips can have internal voids that are invisible externally but compromise the part under load. Forged clips don't have that risk - the steel is worked under pressure, not poured.

The G-413 has over a century of field history on crane back-stays, guy wire terminations, and wire rope rigging assemblies. That service history, combined with ASME B30.26-2015 (Rigging Hardware) compliance and Crosby's lot traceability, makes them the default specification in most rigging programs.

Holloway Houston also offers rigging inspection services - qualified inspectors examine wire rope clips, hardware, and assemblies per ASME and OSHA standards to keep equipment in service.

Crosby Wire Rope Clip Applications by Industry

• Crane and Hoist Work - Back-stay terminations, dead-end connections, and field-fabricated rigging where wire rope eye loops are assembled on-site.
• Marine and Offshore - Guy wires, standing rigging, and structural connections where forged clips satisfy equipment register and load documentation requirements.
• Construction Rigging - Temporary rigging setups and wire rope sling fabrication on structural steel and precast work.
• Mining - Wire rope guides, skip ropes, and maintenance rigging where field termination is faster than shipping pre-swaged assemblies.
• Utilities and Tower Work - Guy wire and anchor terminations on transmission towers, communication structures, and wind energy rigging.
