Certified Wire Suspension Systems | Gripple & Zip-Clip

Certified Wire Suspension Systems for Professional Installations

Looking for a certified wire suspension system for professional installation of cable trays, ventilation ducts, lighting or other building services? At Staalkabelstunter, you will find professional wire rope suspension systems from Gripple and Zip-Clip, including HangPro and Zip-Lock. These adjustable suspension solutions combine efficient installation with documented working loads, technical specifications and manufacturer testing.

An adjustable steel wire rope suspension system allows the suspension height to be set precisely. Different wire diameters, lengths, end fixings and safe working loads are available depending on the selected product.

Why Choose a Professionally Tested Suspension System?

For professional installation work, clearly documented technical properties are important. Manufacturers such as Gripple and Zip-Clip provide product documentation specifying safe working loads, installation requirements and other relevant performance characteristics.

• Documented working loads: choose a suspension system based on the manufacturer's specified Safe Working Load (SWL).
• Efficient installation: wire rope suspension systems can reduce installation work compared with traditional suspension methods.
• Precise height adjustment: automatic wire hangers allow accurate positioning.
• Different end fixings: depending on the product, options may include threaded studs, loops or hooks.
• Compact installation: wire rope provides a space-saving and neat suspension solution.
• Technical documentation: test reports, declarations of performance and other manufacturer documents are available for selected products.

Gripple Suspension Systems – HangPro

Gripple develops adjustable suspension systems for building services and professional installations. The HangPro range uses a self-locking wire hanger to secure steel wire rope quickly and adjust the suspension height accurately.

Typical applications include cable trays, ventilation ducts, lighting, acoustic panels and signage, provided the complete suspension assembly is suitable for the intended use.

Gripple HangPro 1 and HangPro 2

• HangPro 1: designed for 1.5 mm wire rope, with a safe working load of 20 kg according to Gripple.
• HangPro 2: designed for 2 mm wire rope, with a safe working load of 55 kg according to Gripple.
• Safety factor: Gripple specifies a 5:1 safety factor for both HangPro versions.
• Readjustment: integrated release buttons allow adjustment when the load is supported.

Depending on the product, Gripple suspension kits are available with different wire lengths and end fixings, such as an M8 threaded stud. Always check the specifications of the selected version.

Zip-Clip Zip-Lock – Flexible Wire Rope Suspension

Zip-Clip Zip-Lock suspension systems are designed for flexible and professional wire rope suspension. The system uses an automatic locking device to create a suspension loop around a suitable fixing point.

This method allows suspension from suitable structural elements, such as steel purlins. Depending on the system, compatible eye bolts, brackets and other fixing accessories can also be used.

Zip-Lock Versions and Safe Working Loads

• Zip-Lock G: safe working load of 15 kg.
• Zip-Lock S: safe working load of 50 kg.
• Zip-Lock Y: safe working load of 90 kg.

These values are specified by Zip-Clip for the respective Zip-Lock systems and apply under the manufacturer's installation conditions. Available products at Staalkabelstunter may differ in wire diameter, length and end fixing.

Applications for Professional Wire Suspension Systems

• Electrical installations: suspending cable trays and wire mesh cable baskets.
• HVAC and ventilation: supporting ventilation ducts and mechanical services.
• Pipework: suspending suitable technical pipe installations.
• Cooling systems: installation of suitable system components.
• Lighting: suspending and precisely aligning lighting fixtures.
• Acoustic panels: supporting acoustic ceiling islands, panels and baffles.
• Signage and displays: suspending advertising boards, displays and signs.

How to Choose the Right Wire Suspension System

The correct system depends on the technical requirements of the installation. Consider the following factors:

1. Load: compare the intended load with the safe working load of the selected system.
2. Number of suspension points: check how the weight is distributed between the supports.
3. Suspension height: select a suitable wire rope length, including sufficient length for the fixing loop.
4. End fixing: choose a suitable threaded stud, loop or alternative fixing method.
5. Wire angle: take account of permitted installation angles and their effect on working load.
6. Environment: check operating temperatures and environmental conditions.
7. Documentation: follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and applicable technical documents.

Important: the safe working load of a wire hanger or suspension kit does not automatically represent the load capacity of the complete installation. The supporting structure, fixings and installation method must also be considered.

Frequently Asked Questions About Certified Wire Suspension Systems

What is a certified wire suspension system?

The term generally refers to a suspension product for which relevant technical documentation, testing or certification information is available. The exact type and scope of certification or testing varies by manufacturer and product.

What is the difference between Gripple and Zip-Lock?

Gripple HangPro uses a self-locking wire hanger and is available with different end fixings. Zip-Clip Zip-Lock is designed for wire suspension applications including the creation of a fixing loop around a suitable anchor point. Both manufacturers offer multiple working load classes and technical documentation.

What does Safe Working Load (SWL) mean?

Safe Working Load is the permissible working load specified by the manufacturer under the stated conditions. It is not the same as the breaking load. The complete suspension assembly must also be suitable for the intended installation.

Can Gripple and Zip-Clip systems be adjusted after installation?

Many versions feature adjustable locking mechanisms. Gripple HangPro can be readjusted when the load is supported. For Zip-Clip systems, follow the installation instructions for the selected version.

Are these systems suitable for cable trays and ventilation ducts?

Yes. Both manufacturers offer suspension systems for cable containment, ventilation and other building services. Suitability depends on the selected product, the load and the installation method.

Do all products in this category have the same certification?

No. Test reports, declarations of performance and certifications may differ between products. Always consult the technical documentation for the selected suspension system.
