Construction - Get back on track

Make significant time and cost savings

Gripple suspension kits deliver savings of up to 85% on installation times, when compared to threaded rod and channel. Intuitive design, simple installation and one handed adjustment means minimal time is required to train installers and complete the installation of building services.

Downtime on construction sites since lockdown means time will be at a premium; the cutting and filling of threaded rod, and the arduous process of its transportation around site will mean traditional systems feel at odds with the challenges of 2020. The simplicity of our system – its arrival to site as a ready-use-solution, complete with hangers, pre-cut lengths of wire rope and fused end fixings – will make Gripple, and faster project delivery, the new normal.

Stay safe on site

The use of Gripple solutions considerably minimises health and safety concerns, and in the current climate, that’s never been more vital. As a pre-engineered solution, Gripple kits arrive on site ready-to-use, removing the need for potentially hazardous hot works and cutting on-site. One box of Standard No. 2 wire rope kits weighs just 8 kg, doing the same job as 150 kg of threaded rod and channel. Not only is the weight and bulk of carry material reduced, but also the time spent working at height.

Gripple solutions’ lightweight nature is particularly important within the context of social distancing guidelines. It only takes one person to carry the product on and around site, prepare it, install it and make adjustments – a significant advantage when compared to the labour intensive nature of threaded rod.
