As industries such as construction engineering, marine engineering equipment, logistics transportation, and outdoor structure construction increasingly rely on wire rope systems, wire rope clips have become one of the most frequently used safety accessories on site. However, industry surveys show that many wire rope slippage accidents are caused by improper clip selection or incorrect installation orientation, making their usage standards a focus of industry attention once again.

Four Standardization Directions for Wire Rope Clips Selection, Industry Requirements Gradually Becoming Clearer

The guide points out that the correct selection of Wire Rope Clips must be based on the following four dimensions:

1. Select Type According to Application and Standard

Us type Forged Wire Rope Clips: High strength, heavy-duty, suitable for lifting projects.

European Wire Rope Clips: Conform to international standards, more suitable for industrial-grade fixing.

DIN741 Wire Rope Clips: Suitable only for light-load fixing, not for lifting.

Stainless Steel Wire Rope Clips: Suitable for seawater and highly corrosive outdoor environments.

The guide specifically emphasizes: Forged Wire Rope Clips must be used in all lifting operations; DIN741 clamps are strictly prohibited for heavy-load lifting.

2. Wire Rope Clips Number Must Match Wire Rope Diameter

Size matching is the first line of defense against slippage.

For example: 8mm wire rope must use 8mm Wire Rope Clips; the size cannot be arbitrarily increased or decreased.

3. Pay attention to material and surface treatment

Select according to environment:

Carbon steel forging -Engineering hoisting

Hot-dip galvanizing -Outdoor weather protection

304/316 stainless steel -Shipbuilding and marine engineering

4. Require clear quality markings and no structural defects

The guide recommends users purchase products with batch numbers, dimensions, and brand markings to avoid low-quality, risky parts without markings or origin entering the construction site.

Company perspective: Standardized use is more important than equipment cost

Qingdao Haosail Machinery Co., Ltd. emphasizes: "Although the rigging head is small, it bears great responsibility. Choosing the right product and installing it in the correct direction are the primary conditions for safe hoisting." Qingdao Haosail will continue to provide customers with safety guidelines, training, and standardized products to promote the overall safety level of the rigging industry.
