Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Crosby Clamps?
Crosby clamps, also known as wire rope clips, are mechanical devices used to fix the loose end of a wire rope back to the main length, forming a loop or eye. The drop-forged version offers added strength and durability, making it ideal for critical applications where safety and performance are non-negotiable.
Made from forged steel and hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance, these clamps provide a secure grip that holds under the toughest conditions. The signature U-bolt, saddle, and nuts design ensures even distribution of clamping pressure while protecting the wire rope strands from damage.
What Are Crosby Clamps Used For?
Construction: Used for temporary or permanent guy lines, scaffolding supports, and hoisting systems.
Marine & Offshore: Essential for mooring lines, towing cables, and deck rigging.
Mining & Heavy Industry: Used for anchoring winch cables, hoists, and load-bearing slings.
Transport & Logistics: Ideal for securing loads, lifting slings, and tie-down systems.
Utilities & Infrastructure: Supporting overhead lines, towers, and suspended systems.
