Gripple’s End-Post Terminator Makes The Top Ten At World AG Expo
The revolutionary Gripple T-Clip, launched recently by the Sheffield-based manufacturer, Gripple Limited, also with a facility in Aurora, Illinois, has been named as one of the top ten new agricultural products to be highlighted at next year’s World Ag Expo in Tulare, California.
The Gripple T-Clip is an innovative, wire-gripping device providing a revolutionary way of starting or terminating a fence. It replaces the time and trouble of knotting or stapling wires at the end post with a fast, simple twist and push action which then secures the wire.
All contractors need to do is push the Gripple T-Clip on to each line wire, wrap the line wire around the post and back into the T-Clip, working for both starts and ends and suitable for wire from 1.80mm – 3.25mm.
A panel of agribusiness professionals from across the United States, including farmers, ranchers and industry professionals selected the T-Clip from more than 70 entries. Bernie Cargle, chairman of the event, said: These ten products showed the most potential to advance ag production and have the most potential to power global agriculture.
Eric Laroche, sales director of Gripple’s agricultural division, said: “This global ‘stamp of approval’ is a tremendous boost for the T-Clip which created a buzz at the summer’s UK trade shows. The capability of this innovative end-post terminator adds to the proven efficiency of the Gripple Plus which is already joining and tensioning agricultural and viticultural fencing wires across the world.”
During the expo, which is the largest annual exposition of its kind and estimated to attract 100,000 attendees, the Top-10 new products will be showcased inside then new product pavilion.
The Gripple agricultural division provides a full system, from tensioning a traditional field fence to barbed wire and bracing, all tensioned with the Gripple torq tool which optimises the life of fencing.
