Columbus Mckinnon m253 Forged Wire Rope Clip 7/8 in

Product Description

The COLUMBUS MCKINNON m253 is a forged wire rope clip designed to secure wire rope terminations in rigging and lifting applications. Constructed through a forging process for increased strength and durability, this clip provides a reliable mechanical connection at wire rope ends. At 7/8 inch, it fits a standard rope diameter commonly used in industrial and commercial rigging setups. Installation is performed by qualified riggers or maintenance professionals following established load and safety specifications.

This clip is suited for use in overhead lifting, rigging, and load-securing applications where a mechanically sound wire rope termination is required. The 7/8 inch size fits medium-to-heavy-duty wire rope assemblies found in construction, marine, industrial maintenance, and similar trade environments. Proper installation follows applicable ASME B30.26 rigging hardware standards for forged fittings.

Key Features

• Forged construction for enhanced strength over cast alternatives
• 7/8 inch rope diameter capacity for medium-to-heavy-duty rigging
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in outdoor and marine environments
• Designed for use at wire rope dead ends in standard U-bolt clip configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style forged wire rope clip for use with 7/8 inch diameter wire rope in standard rigging and lifting assemblies.

Installation Notes

Wire rope clips should be installed by a qualified rigger in accordance with ASME B30.26 and manufacturer torque specifications provided on the clip packaging or product documentation. Always install with the U-bolt saddle bearing on the dead end of the rope, never on the live load-bearing end. Inspect clips and re-torque after initial load application as wire rope seating can reduce tension. De-energize or unload the rigging assembly completely before servicing or replacing clips.
