Yoke ends are commonly used in conjunction with a cable or rod to lift heavy objects. These U-shaped fasteners come with clevis and clotter pin. The clevis is inserted through the holes of a yoke end, after which it’s secured with the clotter pin. This simple design makes yoke ends a popular fastening mechanism for lifting applications. With that said, there are several things you should know about yoke ends. This post offers a beginner’s guide to yoke ends.

Also known as clevis ends, yoke ends are U-shaped fasteners that are designed to secure cables or rods. As previously mentioned, they are commonly used in lifting applications. A cable or rod can be inserted through the opening of a yoke end, after which it can be used to lift an object.
Many yoke ends are threaded. They have a U-shaped opening on one end. On the other end is a threaded hole. The threaded hole, of course, supports other threaded fasteners.
Yoke ends typically require the use of a clevis and clotter pin. The clevis is an untreated rod, whereas the clotter pin is a thin metal pin. These are used together to secure the open end of a yoke end. Without a clevis and clotter pin, the yoke end will be open. As a result, it won’t be able to hold a rod or cable, nor will be able to lift the objects to which they are connected. The clevis and clotter pin essentially closes the yoke end while securing the rod or cable in place.
You can find yoke ends in different materials. Stainless steel is a popular material in which yoke ends are made. Stainless steel yoke ends offer a high level of protection against corrosion, allowing them to withstand moist and humid environments. You can also find yoke ends made of carbon steel. Carbon steel is stronger than stainless steel, but it doesn’t offer the same high level of protection against corrosion. Rather, carbon steel is more susceptible to corrosion due to its lack of chromium.
When choosing yoke ends, pay attention to the size. Yoke ends are available in a variety of sizes. Some of them are longer than others, and some of them have a wider opening than others. You should choose yoke ends in the right size for your application.

Yoke ends offer a simple and effective rigging solution for cables. Rather than connecting a cable to a traditional fastener, such as a plain eyebolt, you can connect it to a yoke end. Yoke ends are used in many lifting applications. You can connect a cable to a yoke end to lift the object to which it’s attached.
Yoke ends consist of several different parts. They feature a cotter pin, clevis and yoke. The cotter pin is designed to hold the yoke end together. You can place the yoke bolt through the clevis. Once in place, you can secure the yoke bolt with the cotter pin. Yoke bolts have a hole near the bottom. Inserting a cotter pin through this hole will hold the yoke end together.
Yoke ends are also known as clevis ends. They are essentially clevis fasteners. Clevis fasteners are multipiece fasteners that feature a U-shaped clevis and a bolt. Some people refer to them as clevis fasteners or clevis ends, but others refer to them as yoke ends. Regardless, they consist of the same basic parts, and they are used for the same lifting applications.
Most yoke ends use a threaded rod for installation. The U-shaped clevis features a rod with interior threading. You can install a yoke end by connecting this rod to a similar rod with internal threading. To lift an object with a yoke end, for example, you can connect the yoke end to a bolt on the object. Yoke ends feature a threaded rod for installation.
You can easily create mounting points by using yoke ends. Lifting applications require a mounting point. Attempting to lift an object from the wrong place may result in damage. You may damage the object, or you may damage the lifting device. Yoke ends minimize the risk of damage such as this by creating a mounting point. After installing a yoke end on an object, you can then lift the object by connecting a cable to it.
Because they are designed for lifting applications, you can rest assured knowing that yoke ends are strong. Many of them are made of forged steel. Forged steel is an iron alloy that’s characterized by the use of high pressure. It’s made using extreme pressure. The end result is a harder, stronger material than traditional steel.
