Lineman Grips for Utility and Transmission Work
Lineman grips provide a secure hold on conductors while performing tensioning or pulling tasks. Selecting the right grip for the conductor type, diameter, surface condition, application, and load rating helps reduce the risk of slippage or conductor damage.
Proper grip use is critical for both efficiency and safety in the field. Before each use, crews should clean and inspect the jaw area, pins, springs, body, and hardware for wear, deformation, cracks, contamination, or anything that could affect grip operation.
Grips are used daily by crews for a variety of applications, from routine distribution maintenance to high-tension transmission work. Using the correct grip reduces downtime and ensures consistent, repeatable results across all jobs.
Types of Lineman Grips and Their Applications
We offer a full range of lineman grips designed for different applications, conductor sizes, and field conditions. Selecting the right type ensures safe and efficient tensioning and pulling.
- Chicago Grips: Commonly used for conductor pulling and tensioning, with models available for bare wire, ACSR, aluminum, copper, coated conductors, EHS cable, and large-diameter applications. Always match the grip model to the conductor type, diameter, and rated load.
- Haven Grips: Used for selected wire, strand, messenger, and guy wire applications, depending on the model. Confirm conductor or strand type, diameter range, and rated load before use.
- Wide Range Grips: General-purpose grips for approved wire, strand, or conductor applications. Match the jaw style, diameter range, and load rating to the material being pulled or tensioned.
Choosing the correct grip type for the conductor, load, and application helps crews work more efficiently while reducing the risk of slippage, conductor damage, or equipment failure.
