Proper installation is critical for safety and to achieve the full termination efficiency of the wire rope. A widely known best practice is the "Never Saddle a Dead Horse" rule. This means the saddle of the U-bolt clip should always be placed on the live (or load-bearing) end of the rope, with the U-bolt positioned on the dead end (the short, tail end). A minimum of three clips should be used for most applications. The first clip should be placed at the base of the thimble or eye, the second at the dead end, and the third should be placed in the middle. The spacing between each clip should be approximately six times the diameter of the wire rope. Our products meet international standards, and we provide detailed installation guides to ensure a safe and secure termination.
