How Gripple Works
The Gripple Lockable Wire Rope Grip uses an internal cam and wedge mechanism that allows wire rope to be pulled through in one direction (tightening) while preventing movement in the opposite direction. The specialized locking screws secure the wedge, ensuring the grip maintains tension even with minimal load application. This creates a secure, adjustable suspension point without the need for traditional turnbuckles, wire rope clips, or other hardware.
