pulling grips are categorized based on their construction, eye type, and intended application.

• By Weave Type:

  • Single Weave: Used for lighter, shorter pulls.

  • Double or Triple Weave: Provides greater strength and durability for heavy-duty applications, such as high-voltage overhead transmission lines.

• By Eye Type:

  • Single Eye: This is the most common type, with a single loop at the end for attachment to a Swivel or pulling line.

  • Double Eye (or Double Loop): Allows for multiple cables to be pulled simultaneously.

  • Rotating Eye: Designed with a built-in Swivel to prevent twisting forces from the pulling line from being transferred to the conductor.

• By Application:

  • Closed-Mesh Grips: The most secure type, where the grip is pre-woven closed at the end. The conductor is pushed into the mesh.

  • Split-Mesh (Lace-Up) Grips: These have an open mesh with laces or fasteners, allowing them to be installed on a conductor that is already partially installed or has no open end.
