500kg Unshelled Cable Grip – Model UCG-B-0500

The Ableforge UCG-B-0500 Unshelled Cable Grip is a robust, parallel-jaw wire grip designed for the temporary gripping, pulling and tensioning of messenger wire ropes, cables and metal rods. Manufactured from solid ductile and malleable iron, it delivers a firm, non-slip hold on conductors from 2 mm to 20 mm in diameter, making it a versatile choice for overhead line work, utility installation and rigging applications.

The self-tightening parallel jaws grip the wire securely without causing damage, while the integrated guide prevents the grip from dropping off the wire and allows instant, clean release when the load is removed. Compatible with ratchet pullers and pulley tackle systems, this grip is equally at home in temporary tensioning setups or as part of a more complex block-and-tackle arrangement.

With a Safe Working Load of 0.5 ton and a net weight of just 0.32 kg, the UCG-B-0500 is lightweight enough for single-handed use yet built to the higher safety factors Ableforge are known for. Should any component wear, the tool is easily repaired in the field, keeping maintenance costs low.
