Safety is our highest priority. To prevent grip failure and ensure a safe work environment, follow these best practices:

• Correct Sizing is Non-Negotiable: Always match the grip size to the exact diameter of the cable. An incorrectly sized grip will not apply the proper tension and is a primary cause of slippage and failure.

• Adhere to Working Loads: Never exceed the Maximum Breaking Strength (MBS) of the pulling sock. Always calculate the Working Load (WL) by applying the appropriate Factor of Safety (FOS), which is typically 3:1 for pulling and 5:1 for lifting applications.

• Regular Inspection: Before every use, thoroughly inspect the pulling sock for any signs of wear, such as frayed wires, corrosion, or deformation. A damaged grip must be immediately removed from service.

• Use the Right Accessories: The use of a ball-bearing Swivel is not optional; it is essential to prevent torsion from damaging the cable and the grip. A dynamometer can also be used to monitor pulling tension and ensure it does not exceed the cable's specifications.

• Proper Storage: Store grips in a clean, dry location to prevent corrosion and damage to the wire mesh.
