Working in utilities can often be a dangerous game, so ensure optimal safety with the introduction of a Wire Grip from Little Mule.
Boasting a 5,000lbs load capacity, this Hot Line Parallel Jaw type wire grip is designed with a spring-loaded gate, notched handle, and aggressive teeth.
The spring loaded gate allows a lineman to utilize 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.
Boasting a wire size range from 4.57mm t0 15.24mm (Gauge: 6AWG – 4/0AWG), this model is suitable for use with stranded copper* and ACSR** cable types.
*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Copper - This type of wire, used for carrying voltage, has been used less frequently over the last few years and has been replaced by ACSR.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.
