Multi-Purpose X-Series Pulling Grips

Can be used for overhead or underground cable or
wire rope pulling applications and for vibratory
plows and directional drilling pull back operations.
 

The XS, X, and X-HDFE were designed to simplify the process of selecting a pulling grip. The entire X series is unique for several reasons:

1. X Model grips can be used overhead or for underground pulls.

2. X Model grips incorporate a single wire bail which, when put under pressure, conforms to even the tightest clearances. The single wire bail also connects easily with either ball bearing swivels or drop forged friction swivels.

3. The reverse weave of all X Models insures that the grip and cable will pass smoothly through even the tightest blocks, sheaves, bullwheels, etc.

4. The X and X Heavy Duty features metal shoulders installed beneath the bail. These shoulders allow the grip to be pulled through the most abrasive conduit or other rough environments, and still be used time after time. These shoulders are color coded to ensure the correct grip size is selected when making a pull.

X-Series Grips

The X-Series Grips are color coded for quick identification and organized storage. They are plastic coated which increases the life of the grip, provides a more effective gripping surface, and reduces injuries due to frayed or mangled wire in the pulling grip itself. This grip is designed with the ball bearing swivel user in mind. The single wire eye allows a swivel to be attached to the grip easily, and helps to alleviate any binding that may occur in the throat of the swivel during a pull.

The X model grip also offers a backwards weave that (1) adds pulling surface to the grip itself, and (2) allows the grip to pass through even the tightest of clearances. The X series features metal sleeves near the top of the grip to eliminate wear when pulling through clay conduit, gravel, or other abrasive pulling environments. This series is constructed with galvanized wire, but can be ordered with stainless steel at additional cost.
 

XS-Series Grips

These grips feature coated galvanized cable, reverse weave, and a single wire bail but will not have metal shoulders. XS series grip are identified by tags beneath the heavy duty clear tubing. The XS series is designed for normal working conditions.
 

Heavy-Duty X Model Grips

These grips are designed for large work loads and rugged conditions. The following heavy duty X models incorporate the use of exceptionally strong mesh, reverse weave, single wire bail and abrasion-resistant metal shoulders. Heavy Duty X models are constructed of uncoated aircraft strand galvanized wire.
