Messenger Terminations


GUY-GRIP® Dead-Ends may be used to terminate structural supporting strands and cables.

BIG GRIP Dead-Ends are designed for use on transmission, antenna, communications, and other types of guyed structures that require the use of large diameter guy strand. Whether used on an anchor or pole or to terminate a lashed or spacer cable messenger, the BIG-GRIP Dead-End is a unique, one-piece termination that is neat in appearance and free from bolts or other high-stress holding devices.

Rated Holding Strength: GUY-GRIP Dead-Ends and BIG GRIP Dead-Ends are rated at 100% of the strand's published rated breaking strength.
