Overview

The Woodhead Bus-Drop Support Grip (SKU: 36581) is a galvanized steel cable support grip designed for secure cable management in industrial and utility applications. Engineered for cables with diameters between 5.59mm and 8.13mm (0.220" to 0.320"), this locking bale grip provides a firm, tamper-resistant hold with an approximate break strength of 131.54kg (290 lbs). The locking bale mechanism eliminates the need for additional hardware, enabling quick and tool-free attachment to fixed structures, reducing installation time by up to 40% compared to traditional methods. Constructed from tinned-bronze wire mesh, the grip offers superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments, including outdoor installations and chemically aggressive areas. The closed mesh design ensures permanent support for cable ends, while the split lace and split rod options (available in other models) allow mid-cable placement for flexible application scenarios. With a bale length of 0.229m (9.00") and mesh length of 0.102m (4.00"), this grip is optimized for bus-drop installations in telecommunications, power distribution, industrial automation, and data centers. The CSA-certified design (File No. LR32159) meets rigorous safety standards for electrical and mechanical applications. For stainless steel compatibility, add "SS" to the part number (e.g., 36581SS). The workload safety factor is calculated by dividing the break strength by 10, ensuring a 10:1 safety margin for critical installations. Distributed by Gross Automation (SKU: 130094-0511), this product is manufactured in the US for reliable performance in demanding conditions.
