Wire Rope Grips

A wire rope grip is used to fix the loose end of the loop back to the wire rope. It
usually consists of a u-shaped bolt, a forged saddle and two nuts. The two
layers of wire rope are placed in the u-bolt. The saddle is then fitted over the
ropes on to the bolt (the saddle includes two holes to fit to the u-bolt). The nuts
secure the arrangement in place. Three or more clamps are usually used to
terminate a wire rope, but more may be needed for larger diameter ropes.
