Polyplas International’s technical services department is able to work in collaboration with partners around the world to offer the following range of engineering services to building services consultants, designers and engineers.
Hanging at Angles
Safe Work Loads
Each size range of Gripple hangers has a specification which must be adhered to in order to ensure safe operation. When suspending vertically, the maximum load rating for each size range is shown in the table below.
If the wire rope is at an angle, an additional sideways force is applied which increases the load on the suspension. The net effect is shown in the table.
Wire Rope Construction & Cross Sections
The wire ropes used within our product ranges are manufactured with a galvanised coating in accordance with the norm EN 12385.
