Gripple Wire Rope Grips
The Hanging Solution for
Mechanical and Electrical Services

Self-Locking Gripple Wire Rope Grip is a simple, effective alternative for terminating wire rope assemblies.  It completely eliminates the need for traditional wire rope clips.

Key benefits:

  • Strong - stronger than the wire rope, the rope will break first
  • Fast - installed in seconds, no need for additional tools
  • Easy - self-locking, simple push-fit, which cannot be installed incorrectly
  • Safe - consistent, reliable and very efficient, whether installed by skilled or unskilled labor
Gripple Self-Locking Wire Rope Grips are designed for use with steel wire rope only.  Not suitable for fibre rope applications.

How to use

                       

  1. Pass the rope through the Gripple Self-Locking Wire Rope Grips in the direction of the arrow.
  2. Loop rope through the anchor.
  3. Push the wire rope through the second channel of the Gripple Rope Grip to leave at least a 3 inch wire rope tail.

Lockable Gripple Rope Grip

The lockable Gripple now makes catenary and bracing wire rope installation easier and faster. 

The lockable Gripple is designed to secure the ends of wire ropes by simply pushing them through the Gripple in one continuous loop.

The integrated locking screw can be tightened to ensure total security under dynamic load conditions.

Easy to use - Faster to fit !

  • simple push-fit assembly
  • automatic locking wedges
  • easy tensioning
  • secure locking screws

Tightening the ingenious locking screws prevents any movement of the wedges and firmly secures the wire rope in place.

Lockable Gripple Installation

4 simple steps to secure in seconds ...

      

  1. Pass a length of wire rope through one of the channels.
  2. Loop the rope through an anchor point (or around any suitable bracing point).
  3. Return it through the other channel, pulling at least 75mm (3") of wire rope through to leave a tail wire.
  4. Secure the lockable Gripple by tightening the inserted screws (using an M5 socked wrench) to create a firm, solid and secure termination.

Using the Gripple Tensioning Tool

The Gripple Tensioning Tool is purpose designed to apply tension of up to 300 Kg / 600 lbs on rope joined with a self-locking wire Rope Grip.  It accommodates Gripple sizes up to 6 mm (1/4").  Its powerful lever action will tension and re-tension in a matter of seconds.

It works by holding the Gripple body and pulling wire through using the cam and anvil.  If you have left a large loop at the termination point, use the Gripple Tensioning Tool on the tail end to pull more rope through.  Alternatively, pull more of the "load bearing" section of rope through using the tool inside the loop.
