Choosing the correct grip is critical for a safe and successful pull. You should consider the following factors:

• Cable Diameter: The most important factor. The grip's specified diameter range must closely match your cable's outer diameter to prevent slipping or damage.

• Working Load Limit (WLL): The WLL of the grip must be greater than the maximum anticipated pulling force for your project. Always consider a safety factor (e.g., 3:1 for pulling, 5:1 for lifting) to account for unexpected tension spikes.

• Application: Will you be pulling a single cable, multiple cables, or joining two cables? The application will determine if you need a single-eye, double-eye, or lace-up grip.

• Material: Most grips are made from high-tensile galvanized steel or stainless steel. Galvanized steel is a cost-effective choice for general use, while stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance for marine or harsh environments. We also offer non-metallic grips for specialized applications.
