How to use 100kN+ High Capacity Wedge Tensile Grips

A quick video showing how to use a pair of heavy duty mechanical wedge grips. Each grip weighs over 100 lbs. Special adapter inserts can be used inside the wedges for smaller scale testing. This is an over-engineered grip which is designed to last decades without slip or structural failure. The entire loading process takes about 1 minute. This time can be greatly reduced with pneumatic style wedge grips. Universal Grip offers these style compact design wedge grips from 100kN-600kN which is about 100,000 lbs.
