Don’t get caught short on your next utilities job, and stay safe with a Wire Grip from Little Mule.
With a mega load capacity of 20,000lbs, this Standard Model of Wire Grip features a parallel jaw type and is finished with a fine tooth profile. Additionally, it comes with a spring-loaded gate and -unnotched handle.
Spring-loaded gates allow a lineman to use a holding stick to open the gate and place the grip on the wire. When released, the gate closes over the wire and prevents the grip from falling off the wire
Applicable cable types for this model are stranded copper* and ACSR**, and it boasts a wire size range of 17.77mm (397MCM Gauge) up to 32mm (1130MCM Gauge).
*Stranded Copper - This type of wire, used for carrying voltage, has been used less frequently over the last few years and has been replaced by ACSR. However, it is still occasionally used as an overhead conductor and also in substations.
** ACSR - Reinforced Cable (ACSR) High-strength, high-capacity conductor. Providing optimal strength, the concentric-lay-stranded conductor is made from high-purity round aluminum (1350-H19) wrapped around an inner core of galvanized steel wires. This wire is an overhead conductor for carrying voltage and is used in both distribution and transmission applications.
