Features and benefits

Double-weave construction
Colour coded for ease of identification
Protective shoulders to prevent abrasion
Suitable for bare or insulated conductors
Flexible eye compatible with Line swivels

This is the strongest grip we produce. It can be used for conductor and synthetic rope pulls. A Type grips are colour coded for ease of identification. Perfect for overhead transmission and distribution line pulling projects or any other pulling applications with heavy load ratings such as electric railroad, rigging lines and construction pulls. When pulling synthetic rope use a Slingco Feed Tube to make inserting rope into the grip a breeze. Made of galvanised steel. To avoid the effects of torsion a line pulling swivel that rotates under load should be used with pulling grips.

Note:
*Check cable OD. Different manufacturer cable OD differ slightly.
Grips and Swivels are matched based upon ultimate break load. When multiple grip/swivel combinations are available, select the combination that matches your project's load requirement and factor of safety.
When pulling conductor overhead it is important to use a swivel with your grips to release torsion.
