Little Mule Hot Line Wire Grips - 5000 lb Fine Teeth

Product Description

The Columbus McKinnon Little Mule LMG4502 Hot Line Wire Grip, part number 04455W, is a 5000 lb capacity parallel-jaw wire grip designed for utility conductor handling applications. This model accommodates wire from 0.18 to 0.60 in, corresponding to 6 AWG through 4/0 AWG, and is specified by Columbus McKinnon for bare and stranded copper as well as ACSR and aluminum conductors. Its parallel jaw uses fine teeth to provide dependable gripping performance on the specified conductor types. 

The LMG4502 is a hot line configuration with a non-spring-loaded gate and an un-notched handle. Columbus McKinnon equips its hot line wire grips with a special gate plate that allows the grip to be placed on the line before the pull while helping prevent an open grip from falling off the wire. The non-spring-loaded design distinguishes the LMG4502 from spring-loaded Little Mule hot line models while maintaining quick access for conductor insertion and removal.

Little Mule wire grips are manufactured with forged steel construction for a combination of strength, durability, and manageable weight in demanding utility environments. The grip incorporates a large handle eye opening that accepts standard hooks and can be connected to tackle blocks. Columbus McKinnon also designs the wire grip family to open easily and release quickly, helping reduce lock-ups during repeated line work.
