NEW Crosby Bundle Clips
Crosby Bundle clips
The newest product added to the Crosby Group line of rigging accessories is the “Crosby® Bundle Clip”. This new product is used in union with a 3/4” G-450 Wire Rope Clip and is designed lock down the choke hitch of a wire rope sling. This rigging technique is commonly called “pre-slinging a load” and keeps the choke hitch from loosening on the load during transport.
After initial loading, the Bundle Clip is attached to the body of a wire rope sling and captures the sling eye with its tip. The Bundle Clip is sized to provide a grip to the live rope without reducing the efficiency of a choker hitch. This grip is adequate to keep the bundle clip in position. The eye may pull free if not positioned properly.
3/4" Part Number 2032694
Fits only standard 3/4" G-450 Crosby Wire Rope Clips and are available through the BLP store at www.slings.com.

Crosby Bundle clips application
- The eye of the sling must be in the choked position (around live line). Choker hitch applications should comply with the requirements of ASME B30.9 Sling. Install the choker hitch to provide a minimum choke angle of 120 degrees (See Figure 1). Refer to ASME B30.9 for required de-rating of the sling if choke angle is less than 120 degrees.
- Before installing the Crosby Bundle Clip, apply initial load by lifting the bundle and clearing the support, producing a tight choke. Repeat as necessary until the bundle package is in the most compact position (see Figure 2, Loaded). Keep hands and feet from under the load.
- After initial loading, install the Crosby Bundle Clip in proper orientation, with curved portion (Bundle Clip tip) over the eye of the sling. Insert U-bolt through the Crosby Bundle Clip. Properly position the clip base over the U-bolt and install nuts (See Figure 3). Use torque wrench to tighten evenly, alternating from one nut to the other until the curved portion bottoms out on the clip base, and the recommended torque is reached (see table 1).
- Before each lift, check to ensure that the choke eye has not slipped from the Crosby Bundle Clip tip. Repeat Step 3 if necessary.
- When disconnecting, the load should be clear of the stable support (see Figure 2, Loaded). Remove Crosby Bundle Clip. Stay clear of the load as the bundle is lowered and the load is removed from the sling.
In accordance with good rigging and maintenance, the wire rope sling should be inspected periodically for wear, abuse, and general adequacy. Bishop Lifting Products offers inspection and testing services of lifting equipment at all 8 of its locations. For more information on inspection and testing services, click here.
