Cable Hoisting Grips

Hoisting grips are used to distribute the force introduced into a cable when hoisted using a winch, as is usually the case when cable size and/or length lead to an overall weight that cannot be operated manually. They consist of a wire mesh and hold the cable size; the closed version - used when the top connector is installed after the cable is hoisted - and the open version - used in cases where the top connector is installed prior to hoisting the cable. Also in the latter case the closed version might be used if it shall be left on the cable replacing the top cable clamp. Cable with factory-installed connectors can be delivered with preinstalled hoisting grips on customers request.
