SS Bulldog Clips Wire Rope Grips Stainless Steel

• Wire Rope Grips or Bulldog Grips are used on stainless or galvanised wire rope to make a loop or eye on the end.
• They can also be used to make a temporary joint.
• They must be fitting correctly as incorrect fitting can be dangerous.
• Do not over-tightened as the rope will be crushed or if the bolts are under tightened slipping will occur.
• At least three wire rope grips should be used, with the saddles on the live part of the rope, and the U-bolt pressing on the less heavily loaded tail of the rope.
• When make an loop or eye always use a thimble to stop the wire kinking and losing strength. 
• They should be spaced at least six rope diameters apart.
• Do not use them on temporary stays or guys that have to be shifted and re-fastened because the the severe crushing and punishing action of the U-bolt.
• Do not use sections that are damaged by the clip and then straightened out to take the load.
• Do not use bulldog grips on any load hoisting ropes.
