Consultants Guide Specifying hanger systems for MEP and HVAC services

- Globally approved system - Proven benefits to projects - Complete engineered solutions

Join the revolution In the late 1990s Gripple introduced emphatic change to the building services market with a fresh and alternative means of suspension in the construction and industrial sectors. When the original Gripple device was conceived no-one could have predicted that this would lead to the radical approach of using wire rope hangers, which have fast become the benchmark, for quick and easy methods of hanging mechanical, electrical, HVAC and plumbing services. As a result of this revolution, Gripple introduced an entirely new way of working to the industrial sector; load-rated hanger kits quickly proved perfect for ducting, cable containment, lighting, piping, false ceilings, signage and much, much more.

Gripple has since been specified and installed on numerous high profile and prestigious projects across the world including Wembley Stadium (UK), Centre Pomidou (France), Melbourne Convention Centre (Australia), Trump Tower (USA) and Mumbai Airport (India). Not only have Gripple’s versatile products bought speed, improved site safety and best practice efficiency savings to the installation process, by striving to continually provide the best resolutions for specific needs, the company’s capabilities are now recognised, admired and trusted worldwide.

Versatile, approved, quality Specify Gripple on your next project and realise numerous benefits over traditional threaded rod and channel installations:

An approved system Approved by consultants and engineers around the world, the Gripple hanger system is also a third party approved system, with certification worldwide including SMACNA, UL, DW414, TUV, Lloyds Register, and ISO9001, offering safety, quality and durability assurances.

Technical and design support We support projects from design to installation, with our technical advisers offering calculations, CAD designs and take-offs, CPD seminars, product and installation training, and technical information for submissions.

High quality products All kits are manufactured at our headquarters in Sheffield, UK. Our products undergo rigorous quality checks at every stage of the manufacturing process to ensure what we deliver to the customer is consistently of the highest quality.

Ease of install Using Gripple will bring time, cost and labour savings to your project with our easy to install, ready-to-use kits.

Improved aesthetics Discreet and lightweight, the Gripple hanger systems deliver a solution which is aesthetically pleasing, especially important in open spaces.

The Gripple system is more environmentally friendly and up to six times faster to install than threaded rod, helping save money, and the environment. For each tonne of rod you replace with Gripple you can achieve the same results, but with as little as 50 kg of material.

This also means fewer journeys, which lowers transportation costs and emissions. What’s more, as our products are lighter and easier to carry, on-site safety is also improved.

Gripple takes an exemplar approach to long term sustainability.

The company philosophy is to seek to find sustainable solutions to customer problems, meaning once converted the customer is unlikely to go back to using traditional hanging methods.
