FAQs
Can I use these for lifting heavy objects?
No, these grips are not designed or certified for lifting applications.
What size wire rope do these grips fit?
These grips are specifically designed for use with 3mm wire rope.
How many grips are in a pack?
Each pack contains 2 duplex wire rope grips.
Are they rust-resistant?
Yes, they are zinc-plated to provide significant resistance to corrosion and rust.
Do I need special tools to install them?
No, you only need a standard spanner to tighten the nuts down.
Troubleshooting
Cable slips through the grip
Ensure the wire rope is exactly 3mm in diameter and that both nuts have been tightened evenly to create sufficient pressure.
Difficulty tightening the nuts
Ensure the threads are clear of debris; if resistance persists, check that the cable is properly seated in the grooves before tightening.
Pros and Cons

- Provides a strong, reliable hold for 3mm cable

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Compatibility: These grips (SFGDWRG03) are exclusively calibrated for 3mm wire rope. Do not attempt to use with thicker or significantly thinner cables.
- Installation: Use a suitable-sized spanner to tighten the nuts on the plate. Ensure that the nuts are tightened evenly to provide balanced pressure across the wire.
- Care: Periodically inspect the cable and grips for signs of vibration-induced loosening. While the zinc plating offers excellent corrosion resistance, applying a light machine oil can further protect the threads if used in damp outdoor conditions.
