Guide to Trellising Installation
and Maintenance
USING SYSTEM GRIPPLE, POST-HARVEST MAINTENANCE IS UP TO SIX TIMES FASTER, ENABLING THE GROWER TO SPEND LESS TIME WORKING WITH THE TRELLIS, AND MORE TIME WITH THE CROP.
PRODUCT RANGE
Gripple Wire Joiner/Tensioners are available in four sizes: Small for stainless steel trellis wire, Medium is suitable for the vast majority of trellising requirements, and Large for mild steel barb wire and plain wire. Completing the range, the Maxi Gripple Wire Joiner/Tensioner is designed for high load, high tensile wire.
MODEL PLAIN WIRE BARBED WIRE WORKING LOAD
SMALL 14-17ga   450lbs
MEDIUM 12-13ga 15.5ga 700lbs
LARGE   12.5ga 350lbs
MAXI 8-11ga   1400lbs
HOW IT WORKS
Inside the Gripple Wire Joiner/Tensioner, each wire moves in one direction only, passing over high precision gear-tooth rollers. The moment any load is applied in the opposite direction, the rollers bit, locking the wires.
System Gripple is the easy way to join and tension wire.
It can be used in the following ways:
In-Line Join
Simply push a Gripple Wire Joiner on to one end of the wire and push the end of the other roll of wire through the second channel to create a secure join.
Loop Anchor
Smply push a Gripple Wire Joiner Tensioner on to one end of the wire, feed the wire around the post, pushing the end of the wire back through the second channel of the Gripple Wire Joiner.
Repairs
Broken wires are easy to repair. Rather than replace the wire from post to post, a new piece can easily be inserted with two gripple Wire Joiners and a piece of replacement wire.
Anchoring
End posts can be quickly and easily installed to feed a length of wire around the post, through the staple and securing at the ground anchor point with a Gripple Wire Joiner. This method saves time, labour, and can be re-tensioned using the Gripple Tensioning Tool. Gripple can now offer the complete end post anchoring kit - Anchor-Fast.
 
     
 


Gripple Releasable

The new Gripple Releasable has been designed specifically to tension and release the tension on fruit bearing wires in the viticulture sector.

The Gripple Releasable allows fruiting wires to be tensioned; the tension can subsequently be released in the trellis to allow the wires to be re-positioned during the fruiting season and again after the harvest to allow pruning to be carried out more easily.

To release the Gripple, the Release Tool is required. Like the Gripple Tensioning Tool, the Gripple Release Tool is easy and quick to use.

It offers time saving in the tensioning of fruiting wires and facilitates maintenance after the harvest.

By using Gripple Releasable the vine growers do not need to lower the fruiting wires to the ground in order to prune the vines - this limits the risk of injury and does not cause damage to the wires.

System Benefits:
  • Fast installation only requiring use of the Gripple Tensioning Tool
  • The wires are not bent or knotted and therefore are not weakened (no corrosion)
  • Fruiting wires can be released quickly and effortlessly
  • Can be used with all sizes of fruiting wire throughout the world
  • Quick and easy to use
 
How to Use - Releasing the wires
 
 
1. The Release Tool nozzle is attached to the pin of the Gripple Releasable 2. Squeeze until the wedge loosens its grip on the wire and releases the fruiting wires, allowing them to be re-positioned 3. Once work is completed, the wires can be re-tensioned quickly and easily with the Gripple Tensioning Tool
