CHAIN AND LIFTING HARDWARE

Stainless Steel Chain is more corrosion resistant and provides a higher strength-to-weight ratio than galvanized chain of comparable size. Stainless Steel anchor chain will not rust and is stronger than galvanized chain and also has a higher working load. Besides proof-coil and anchor chain, stainless double loop chain is used for fixtures and other suspension requirements.

Wire Rope Swaging Tools are designed for crimping copper and aluminum sleeves and stop sleeves. The Jaws are made of forged alloy steel that are heat treated to add additional strength.  This assures a tight and clean compression on each scrimping.  A cutter is also available on some models that are specially designed to give a clean, sharp cut in wire rope.

Cold Shuts (Proof Coil) used to join chain or attach hooks then the end of cold eye is driven thru eye and peened over. Available from 3/16” (400lb work load limit) to ½” (3700lb work load limit)

Screw Pin Anchor Shackles are ideal for lifting applications where shackles are frequently removed. The pin screws into position without the use of tools. Not for use if there will be movement or vibration of the pin.

Shackles with safety pin are the most secure choice for lifting. The safety pin consists of a round pin secured with a nut and a cotter pin.

Shackles with captive self-locking screw pin have indentations that lock the pin in place as it is tightened. They also have a slight lip on the end of the screw pin that prevents separation from the shackle and eliminates lost pins.

Lap Links (Repair Links) Used as a temporary joining device which can be applied with a hammer or vise  • Not for use with high test, alloy or transport chain.

Wire Rope and Hardware

U-Bolt-It distributes the finest quality domestic and import wire rope cables, Wire Rope Clips, wire rope cable assemblies, and cable lanyards used for construction, marine & off-shore, and other industrial applications..  Our wire rope products are made from single wires that are twisted into main strands.  The most standard constructions of wire rope are 1x7, 1x19, 7x7, and 7x19 which represents (# of strands by # of wires in each strand). Wire rope and wire rope assemblies are available in steel and stainless steel.  It is available in plain steel, galvanized steel, zinc-plated steel, and nylon coated.

 The correct way to measure wire rope is with the faces of the caliper in contact with the crowns of two opposing strands.

Marline Clad Wire Rope has individual strands coated with marline before they are laid around the core. Its use is limited to applications where the marline exterior is desired for easier handling, or where additional friction, provided by the marline covering, is needed for friction drives. One such duty is car puller service, where the rope makes several wraps around a power driven capstan and traction is obtained by the friction developed between the marline and the capstan

Vinyl or Nylon Coated Wire Ropes are available for galvanized, stainless steel, or similar combination. The coating protects the rope and worker's hands. Plastic coatings are generally transparent so the rope can be visually inspected. Other materials are also used to coat wire ropes

Galvanized Steel Wire Rope: Running Rope, a 6x12 right lay, regular lay construction with fiber core, is a flexible rope with good corrosion resistance-although not particularly high strength. Each of the six strands has an outer layer of 12 galvanized steel wires. These strands do not have inside wires, such as is customary with standard 6x19 classification rope. Fiber is used in place of these inside wires.

Galvanized Steel Wire Rope Mooring Lines and hawsers are 6x24, right lay, regular lay with fiber core. Sometimes, in even larger sizes of marine ropes, a 6x30 galvanized steel wire rope is used; right lay, regular lay, with fiber core, also having fiber cores in each of the six strands. With ropes this large, however, a conventional 6x37 classification galvanized steel rope with fiber core is sufficiently flexible and durable for the duty, which is usually a towing hawser.

1x7 and 1x19 Classification Wire Rope are single-strand constructions with good abrasion resistance, but low flexibility. The 1 x 19 strand is slightly more flexible, but less abrasion resistant than the 1 x 7 strand. These wire ropes are ideal for linear force applications.

3x7 Hollow Core Wire Ropes are made of small diameter construction and is extremely flexible. Best for light duty applications.

6x7 Class Fiber Core Wire Rope is also known as sash cord. This type is perfect for light duty applications.

6x19 Classification Wire Ropes provide an excellent balance between fatigue and wear resistance. This is a general purpose rope that is durable and will give long service with moderately sized sheaves and drums. 6x19 wire rope is often used for hoists, boom hoists, haulage ropes and slings.

6x37 Classification Wire Ropes have a third layer of wires that makes them more flexible, but less abrasion-resistant than ropes of the 6x19 class. Each strand contains numerous, comparatively small diameter wires which offer superior bending ability. As the number of wires in each strand increases, flexibility increases. Often used on winches and as hoist ropes on overhead and mobile cranes.

7x7Aircraft cable designed for use in operating controls cables on aircraft, is sometimes called cord. There are two general types. One is composed of six strands of seven wires each, laid around a seven-wire core strand, and is called 7x7. The second type, 7x19, is a more flexible cord, made of six strands of 19 wires each, laid around a core strand of 19 wires.

7x19 Stainless Steel Aircraft Cable Type 304 Is selected for its excellent corrosion-resistant qualities and is often used in light hoisting and rigging applications. Its chromium content forms an impervious protective barrier against corrosive environments

7x19 " Galvanized Aircraft Cable is a common industry term for small diameter, corrosion- resistant, zinc-coated wire rope originally designed for aeronautical applications. It is a flexible and inexpensive cable used on winches, guy lines and numerous other commercial, industrial and marine applications.

19x7 Rotation-Resistant Wire Rope is a special class of rope designed to resist the tendency to spin or rotate under load. This is achieved by laying 6 strands around the core in one direction, then laying 12 strands around the first operation in another direction. Non-rotating wire rope is often used for hoisting unguided loads with a single part rope. This unique design does, however, impose certain limitations on the rope's application and handling. (The term "non-rotating" is a misnomer, because all wire rope has some tendency to rotate under load.)

Wire Rope Clips: Malleable iron clips are good where corrosion is not a factor. Forged steel clips are stronger than malleable iron clips and is also good for applications where corrosion is not a factor. Type 304 stainless steel clips

raulic, and impact models. Hand held models are sued to cut smaller wire rope diameters including safety wire, truck and rail security cables. Hydraulic wire rope cutters are made to cut the toughest cables, clean and without affecting the roundness of the wire rope. Impact cutters are portable, easy to operate, and are actuated by using a hammer and striking a few hard blows to effect a perfect cut

Wire Rope Hoists are available for a wide variety commercial, industrial, marine and offshore applications. We offer stable, high speed electric and air hoists as well as manual lever or hand chain hoists for the toughest projects. From the biggest lift to the most confining space, we have the right wire rope hoist to fulfill your requirements.

Wire Rope Rigging is comprised of many pieces of equipment to make up a package that is right for the job. Rigging can comprise of wire rope with blocks and pulleys, shackles, turnbuckles, hoisting rings, cable grips, sockets, hooks, and more.

Wire Rope Sleeves are made of aluminum and used to splice twisted or braided nylon fibrous rope.

Stops create a stop at the end of the wire rope. Note: Stop sleeves are not for lifting applications. Copper or Aluminum

Stainless Steel Wire Rope provides a combination of strength and corrosion resistance to meet some of the toughest applications in most any industry. Stainless wire rope is used in aeronautical and navel fields where non-magnetic properties are a necessity. Applications for stainless wire rope also include marine, food processing, elevators, rigging & scaffolding, conveyors, and physical fitness equipment.

Because some stainless provides extra corrosion resistance, it is ideal for uses in highly corrosive atmospheres including offshore projects where salt spray is highly potent.

Wire Rope Thimbles are used for distributing weight evenly around the loop, and protect wire rope assemblies from damage and wear.   Zinc-plated steel thimbles provide good corrosion resistance in most environments. For better corrosion resistance, choose hot-dipped galvanized steel thimbles that have a thicker zinc coating. Type 304 and 316 stainless steel thimbles exhibit excellent corrosion resistance.

NEVER exceed maximum load work limitations.  NOT to be used for overhead lifting

Choosing the right fastener material is important when applications call for differences in strength, brittleness, corrosion resistance, galvanic corrosion properties, and cost.
