Gripple catenary system for lighter loads

Gripple, catenary system, suspension system

Gripple’s D3 catenary suspension system is designed for lightweight applications such as lighting, signage or bracing applications where no direct vertical suspension point is available. It can support loads of up to 30 kg per suspension points and is part of a range of catenary kits for up to 100 kg.

The integral locking mechanism simultaneously pre-loads the wire in both channels with a single hex key action; there are no fiddly bolts or screws.

The D3 system has ceramic rollers and stainless-steel spring for corrosion resistance. The ready-to-use kits include setting and locking keys and pre-cut lengths of 3 mm galvanised-steel-wire rope.
