Description
Simple, adjustable rope terminations
Wire rope grips clamp the turned-back tail of a wire rope to its main length, forming an eye around a thimble, turnbuckle or staple. They need no special tools, can be adjusted on site and are ideal for roof restraint ropes.
- Galvanised U-bolt, saddle and nuts — use with galvanised wire rope
- Sizes for 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 mm rope — always match the grip to the rope diameter
How many grips?
| Rope diameter | Minimum grips per termination | Typical turn-back |

| 3–5 mm | 3 | 150 mm |
| 6 mm | 3 | 180 mm |
| 8 mm | 4 | 280 mm |
Fitting guide
- Saddle on the live side. Fit the saddle (the ridged base) on the main, load-bearing length of rope and the U-bolt on the dead tail — “never saddle a dead horse”.
- Use a thimble in the eye to protect the rope.
- Fit the first grip one saddle-width from the end of the tail, then space the others about six rope diameters apart.
- Tighten the nuts evenly, alternating from side to side.
- Re-tighten after the rope has been tensioned, and check the grips at every maintenance inspection — rope diameter reduces slightly under load.
Not for lifting. These general-purpose grips are for restraint and tensioning only and must not be used for lifting or safety-critical applications.
