Gripple now work in over 80 countries and here are some of the most common questions that we are asked. We hope these help, if you need further advice, please contact us and we will help.


Does the wire rope in Gripple hangers stretch when loaded?

The construction of wire rope is proven to prevent stretch, and so will not elongate during its life. Furthermore, because they carry a 5:1 safety factor, when Gripple hangers are correctly installed they will only be subject to a maximum of 20% of their ultimate breaking load.
