Wire Catenary Suspension

Our catenary suspension systems offer a fast, secure and flexible way to span open spaces with tensioned wire. Ideal for supporting signage, lighting or cable runs.

Our Gripple wire joining technology makes installing catenary systems faster and easier than ever

Our catenary systems are designed to make suspended installations simple. A catenary wire spans between two anchor points to create a secure, tensioned line from which multiple services can be suspended including lighting, signage or electrical cabling.

Our wire rope catenary kits can be joined and tensioned using our innovative Gripple wire joining technology, offering a faster, safer and more efficient alternative to traditional methods using U-bolts and turnbuckles. With pre-engineered components, tool-free joiners and fast tensioning technology, our kits reduce install time. All products are tested and come with approved working loads with a 5:1 safety factor for complete peace of mind.

Whether you’re working on a retail fit-out, an exhibition space, or a large industrial warehouse, our overhead catenary systems are trusted to support a wide range of loads with minimal visual impact. They also give you the flexibility to suspend at angles up to 60 degrees, providing more creative freedom and allowing for suspension in constrained spaces.

Along with the catenary line itself we also offer a full range of catenary hangers and accessories allowing for quick attachment of lighting, AV equipment, cables and displays.

As pioneers in wire suspension, we also back every catenary suspension system with full technical and engineering support including engineering drawings, design advice, take-offs, site inspections and training.

Trusted by the Experts

“The pitched roof posed some challenges (for suspension). Gripple supplied their catenary system which has been fantastic…it’s saved a huge amount of time, and the slick installation has proved really positive for us.”
Darren Havard, Senior Project Manager | Imtech
“With easy and efficient installation and reliable and consistent support from Gripple, the Cable Management system was the obvious choice. It allowed us to easily manage cables above ground. The Gripple technical team were on hand every step of the way to offer support and assistance.”
Claudio Bessone, Program Manager | Infratec

Catenary Analysis and Design Support

While catenary solutions can often feel complex or daunting, our in-house Technical Services team takes care of the full design and specification process, giving you complete confidence in your project.

We provide computer-modelled catenary tension analysis using SCIA Engineer software, calculating final catenary sag and, more importantly, anchor point loading.
