LSG Snake Grips are reusable wire mesh pulling grips designed to connect a new cable or wire rope to an existing line during replacement operations. They expand and contract to fit a defined cable range and tighten under load to maintain grip. Commonly used in utility, industrial, and oilfield environments, they enable controlled cable pulling through sheaves, conduit, and complex routing paths.
A cable pulling grip used when replacing or installing cable by pulling a new line with an existing cable or rope.
When to choose this product
Best for:
- Replacing installed cable using existing line as a pulling medium
Routing cable through sheaves, blocks, or conduit where rotation control is required
Not ideal for:
- Lifting applications or load-bearing overhead hoisting
Product benefits
- Expandable mesh construction adjusts to specified cable diameters, ensuring consistent contact and reliable grip across varying sizes
- Swivel and swing link assembly allows smooth travel through sheaves and bends while reducing cable twist during pulling operations
- Tightening action under tension increases holding force progressively, supporting stable pulling performance over longer distances
- Tool-free installation simplifies setup in field conditions, reducing preparation time during cable replacement work
- Reusable design supports multiple operations when properly inspected, improving cost efficiency in repetitive pulling tasks
- Compatible with different or identical cable sizes, enabling flexible use across maintenance, upgrade, and installation scenarios
- Low-profile connection when properly banded and taped helps reduce snagging risk in conduit and confined routing paths
- Available in multiple size ranges and working load limits, supporting correct selection for defined cable diameter and load requirements
