Center Stage @ BMI is a recurring series that aims to showcase select vendors and brands that BMI Supply carries. Each blog may feature recent vendor news, brand new products, or perhaps older products that have recently been added to our ecommerce site.
A brand whose inclusion in our catalog truly exemplifies the enterprising fashion in which technical theatre practitioners embrace gear originally intended for other industries, Griplock products have a wide array of practicality in theatrical rigging. From ring grippers to dual grippers in multiple sizes, these products work wonders in quickly and securely hanging smaller scenic pieces and performing other rigging tasks. Check out the products below for a taste of our Griplock offering!
1) Griplock Fork Gripper, 1/8", Silver
Used in conjunction with wire rope, the Griplock Fork Gripper enables you to securely hang objects - temporarily or permanently. Grippers (in any shape) offer strength, reliability, adjustability, and can be reused to your heart's content. This one comes in a fork shape and is designed for 1/8" wire rope.
2) Griplock Dual Gripper, 1/8", Silver
Another entrant in Griplock's suite of reliable suspension products, this dual gripper is designed for use with 1/8" 7x7 or 7x19 aircraft cable, forming a secure loop termination in the cable. This product has a 250lb working load limit, so you can hang objects with confidence.
3) Griplock Ring Gripper, 1/8", Black
One of our most popular Griplock items, the ring gripper is utilized by inserting the end of your wire rope into position, triggering the load through a unique gripping/locking mechanism that then holds your scenery/object in place. The plunger allows for quick release and re-positioning on the fly. Immensely handy and safe!
These are just a few of the products in our larger Griplock catalog. Check out more below!
