Wire Rope Cable & Strand Terminations

Wire rope, cable, and strand terminations are used in many lifting, rigging, and tensioning systems to help create secure ends or loops. These parts play a key role in building assemblies where wire rope needs to be held, adjusted, or anchored to other hardware. A commonly used method for this is the wire rope clip, which helps form eyes or keep dead ends in place.

Wire rope clips are available in different sizes and types to suit various load and rope diameter requirements. Whether working with small cable lines or thick ropes, these clips allow a loop to be made without permanent tools or fittings. They are often used in field setups where the connection may need to be taken apart or reset.

Chair type and drop forged clips are both found in this category. Chair type clips come with a smooth, low-profile design. Drop forged clips are shaped from strong steel, making them suitable for rope sizes where higher holding power is needed. Each clip consists of a U-bolt, saddle, and nuts. The correct placement is important; putting the saddle on the live end of the rope helps reduce pressure damage.

Finishes available include galvanized steel and red-painted types. Galvanized parts offer surface protection for outdoor or industrial use. Red finishes are useful for size identification and inspection visibility. These clips are offered in many sizes, from 1/8" to 3-1/2", covering both lighter-duty and heavy applications.

Here’s a quick overview of clip sizes and how they match different rope sizes:

It’s important to use the correct number of clips based on the rope size. In most cases, at least two or more clips are used in a single setup. Spacing and alignment should follow the instructions provided with the product to maintain holding strength. Regular inspections and nut tightening are part of proper use.

These wire rope terminations are commonly used in:

• Rigging and lifting systems
• Guy lines and anchors
• Winch setups
• Construction cable systems
• Support structures
• Fencing and tensioning tasks

Installation of these clips does not require special tools, which makes them helpful in remote or on-site situations. The loop created by the clips can be combined with thimbles, hooks, shackles, or links. A thimble helps keep the shape of the loop and reduce wear on the rope.

In addition to standard clips, other connection hardware may be added to the system depending on the job. For example, master links and turnbuckles are often used with rope assemblies. Holloway Houston provides hardware like these to help complete your system. Sizes and specifications are listed to help choose the correct item.

The brands offered in this category include recognized names like Crosby and Green Pin. They supply both standard and specialty clips in multiple finishes and sizes. Options in red or galvanized can match equipment needs or inspection routines.

Many industries rely on wire rope terminations as part of day-to-day work. Marine, energy, utility, and transportation sectors all use wire rope in various forms. These clips help build and maintain the systems that keep operations moving.

When working with large or specialty rope sizes, heavy-duty clips from this section are available in sizes like 2", 2-1/2", and even 3-1/2". These are suited to major projects and industrial setups where high rope diameter and holding power are needed.

Wire rope clips allow the user to assemble, disassemble, or adjust wire rope on location. The non-permanent nature of the setup is useful when changes might be required, such as in temporary setups or adjustable tension systems.

Spare clips and hardware are also helpful to keep on hand. Having backup parts can reduce downtime when a connection needs repair. Many customers buy extra sizes for field kits or toolbox storage.

Each listing for these products includes basic information like size, finish, and matching rope diameter. This makes it easier to compare clips and find what’s needed without guessing or needing technical support.

By offering a large selection, Holloway Houston makes it easier for riggers and buyers to find the right parts for rope terminations. Whether preparing a new assembly or replacing worn clips, the stock range supports both small and large jobs.

This category of hardware helps keep assemblies practical and easy to manage. The wire rope clips are simple to install, adjust, and inspect, which adds value in active work settings.

Additional items that work well with these clips include:

• Thimbles (for loop protection)
• Shackles (for connecting to lifting points)
• Turnbuckles (for tension adjustment)
• Master links (for multi-leg assemblies)

With wire rope clips and related hardware, field connections are quicker and easier to maintain. Holloway Houston supports this with available stock, known brands, and clear size breakdowns.
