HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT GRIP
To select the best Little Mule wire grip for your application, we recommend taking the following steps:
Step 1: DETERMINE WHAT TYPE OF CABLE/WIRE IS BEING USED
What wire(s) type and size are you pulling?
Step 2: SELECT STANDARD OR HOT LINE MODEL
Will this grip be used on hot lines or will a standard grip suffice?
Step 3: CHOOSE YOUR GATE STYLE
Do you need a grip with spring-loaded or non-spring-loaded gates? NOTE: Hot line models come with a special gate plate to prevent an open grip from falling off the wire.
Step 4: SELECT NOTCHED OR UN-NOTCHED HANDLE
A notched handle on spring-loaded models locks the grip in the open position for placement on or removal from wire, then releases instantly.
Step 5: PICK YOUR GRIP
Use the specifications you selected in steps 1 through 4 to find a grip in the chart on the next page. A visual depiction of each configuration is shown on previous page.
