Gripple
Trellising (Vineyards)
In today’s vineyards, the wires, posts and machinery are constantly being improved, and Gripple Plus prides itself on being part of that evolution. For the maximum possible yield on your grape harvest, your vineyard requires only the best - a trellising system that can be tensioned in seconds, yet last for years.
To complement the subtleties and complexities of a fine wine, a simple clear-cut solution is called for to ensure the same high standard time after time. The Gripple Plus range, which includes the GP Small, GP Medium and GP Large, are all straightforward to use and offer increased load ratings, ensuring a quick installation and the greatest tension for your trellis.
Whilst other tensioning systems can be damaged by the elements, the intrinsic corrosion resistance of our products keeps them unwavering and functioning for the long haul. Our ultra-strong ceramic mechanism delivers advanced tension every time, whereas inferior methods allow the wire to sag and droop, leading to poor-quality grapes shrouded in darkness.
By using the superior Gripple Plus system on vineyard trellising, you can be assured your wire will have the utmost tension, granting you the opportunity for a premium crop. Trellis wires secured and tensioned by our system are held taut to maintain the foliage, keeping your vineyard in order and your grapes out of the shade.
As a completely re-tensionable trellis system, Gripple Plus is made to last. For even though galvanised wire is known to stretch up to 10%, the annual re-tensioning is made light work of by The Torq Tensioning Tool – with this compact, lightweight apparatus it’s possible to re-tension up to 10 hectares of vineyard in one day. To complete the trellis-wire system, the Gripple Plus Anchor Kit is the perfect accompaniment; and if rocky terrain is a problem, then look no further than the Fenox Anchor.
Not exclusive simply to wine-making, the Gripple Plus system can be used in table grape vineyards that grow much sweeter grapes, which are prone to pests and so require netting and other Protection Systems to defend their crops. When it comes to viticulture, Gripples are used across the globe - wherever there’s a vineyard, we’re there.
