Wire rope, rope and turnbuckles handle tensioning, guying, hanging and general pulling jobs. This subcategory includes galvanized and stainless wire rope and cable, coated cable, wire rope clips, thimbles and ferrules, synthetic rope such as nylon, polyester and polypropylene, natural fiber rope, and turnbuckles with hook, eye and jaw ends. Facility crews, contractors and fabricators use them for guy lines, barriers, signs, fencing and equipment support.
What to check before you order
- Construction and diameter. Wire rope is described by diameter and strand construction, such as 7x19 for flexibility. Match fittings to the exact rope diameter.
- Terminations. Wire rope clips must be installed with the number, spacing, orientation and torque given by the clip manufacturer. A thimble protects the eye from wear and kinking.
- Lifting or general use. Many cables, fiber ropes and turnbuckles are sold for general purpose use and are not rated for overhead lifting. Check the manufacturer's rating and marking.
- Material. Stainless wire rope resists corrosion outdoors and in wet areas. Polypropylene rope floats and resists rot, while nylon stretches more.
- Turnbuckle ends. Choose hook, eye or jaw ends to suit the connection, and lock them to prevent loosening.
Any rigging use should follow the manufacturer's instructions, ASME standards, OSHA requirements and a qualified person's direction. See chain and chain hardware and hooks, shackles and eye bolts, or return to Material Handling & Rigging.
Common questions
What does 7x19 mean on wire rope?
It means 7 strands of 19 wires each. It bends more easily than 7x7, which uses fewer, larger wires and resists abrasion better.
Which way do wire rope clips go on?
The saddle goes on the live, load-bearing side and the U-bolt goes on the short dead end. Follow the clip manufacturer's instructions for number, spacing and torque.
