Cable Strut (Catenary) Suspension

Our catenary suspension systems offer a fast, secure and flexible way to span open spaces with tensioned cable. Ideal for supporting signage, lighting or cable runs.

Our Gripple Cable joining technology makes installing catenary systems faster and easier than ever

Our catenary systems are designed to make suspended installations simple. A catenary cable spans between two anchor points to create a secure, tensioned line from which multiple services can be suspended including lighting, signage or electrical cabling.

Our cable catenary kits can be joined and tensioned using our innovative Gripple cable joining technology, offering a faster, safer and more efficient alternative to traditional methods using U-bolts and turnbuckles. With pre-engineered components, tool-free joiners and fast tensioning technology, our kits reduce install time. All products are tested and come with approved working loads with a 5:1 safety factor for complete peace of mind.

Whether you’re working on a retail fit-out, an exhibition space, or a large industrial warehouse, our overhead catenary systems are trusted to support a wide range of loads with minimal visual impact. They also give you the flexibility to suspend at angles up to 60 degrees, providing more creative freedom and allowing for suspension in constrained spaces.

Along with the catenary line itself we also offer a full range of catenary hangers and accessories allowing for quick attachment of lighting, AV equipment, cables and displays.

As pioneers in cable suspension, we also back every catenary suspension system with full technical and engineering support including engineering drawings, design advice, take-offs, site inspections and training.

“We were able to install our Gripple Cable Strut in 1 day as opposed to 11 days doing it with all thread and strut. That’s amazing!”
Ramon Simpson, Field Superintendent
“Using Gripple Cable Strut along with the UniGrip has cut the installation time by 50%. We eliminated threaded rod and all fasteners to build strut racks. We were able to complete the job with 50% less man hours! I will continue to use Gripple as a time saver.”
Pat Hearity, Project Manager | Electric Company Inc.
