Sling Grips Tapered Utility Poles

BoaGrip below-the-hook rigging sling's SuperStick, slip-resistant, polymer traction bars hold tight to tapered or straight; metal or wood; wet or dry utility pole shafts. To use, slip BoaGrip around pole and pull taught. Allows crews to pick a spot anywhere above the "tipping point," fasten sling, and be ready to lift. Eliminates the need for clamping. Stainless steel Double-D master link ensures that the gripping surface is held flat all the way around the pole. Inner link keeps the sling's opposing gripper surfaces separate, so BoaGrip won't bind or bunch when pulled. Offers 1,900-lb. rated capacity. Model available for handling gas cylinders.
