Open Ended Type ( O )

Open ended lattice grips, with no eye pulls, to connect two cable lengths for pulling or supporting purposes (lattice lengths somewhat longer than other cable sock types to provide necessary grip on cables but break loads as for
'S' Type cables above).

Single Eye  ( S ) Type

This cable grip is available in single strand lattice weave for standard pull lengths and break loads or double strand lattice weave for longer pull lengths and higher break loads.

Full specifications are given in the table below.

 

Cable Pulling Socks

Cable grips provide an efficient method for cable installation and support. They are re-usable and can be used to support or pull any cylindrical object within their grip and load carrying capacity.

Our standard cable grips are manufactured from high tensile galvanised steel wire rope.

We offer a wide selection of charts for the various types and sizes of standard cable sock from 10mm to 180mm diameter and 305mm to 1500mm overall length. However, Cable grips with larger diameters and longer lengths can be woven to special order.

Apart from our standard range, we can offer very large, custom made grips including grips with diameters approaching 500mm and breaks exceeding 60 Tons.

Wire Lifting Loops

 

Lifting loops and sockets are used extensively in pre-cast
concrete structure manufacturing and building industries for
easier transportation and placement of structural components.

Designed for long life, lifting loops are manufactured from
wire rope clinched firmly into an externally threaded
(standard ISO/DIN metric round form thread) steel ferrule
which mates, on application, with a permanently inserted
steel socket of the same thread form and size.

The recommended Safe Working Load (wll) is normally a 5:1

standard of safety based on the wire rope minimum break loading, as per BS1290:1983. By arrangement, a 6:1 standard of safety can be offered on metric round form (Rd) type loops.All lifting loops are proof load tested to 2 x wll. A test certificate is issued which can be easily referenced by an attached identification tag.

 

Lifting Sockets (Cast-in)
These strong steel tubular sockets are supplied with a through hole below the thread to take a reinforcing bar, located and tied to the main reinforcement to provide a secure anchorage point in the concrete. Available in zinc-plated or stainless steel, each socket is provided with two plastic plug inserts for protection against ingress of concrete or damage to threads.

NOTE: Lifting loop and socket must be carefully matched to correct thread form and size. (M) metric ISO threads are not compatible on thread form with (Rd) metric round form threads. Plastic plugs can be obtained separately.
