GRIPPS® 10 Tool Tether Kits – Safety Solutions for Working at Height

GRIPPS Gap Wrap

The GRIPPS Gap Wrap is an encapsulation device designed to provide a simple and effective solution for helping prevent objects from being accidentally dropped through openings around columns, drill pipes, pipework, and floor penetrations.

It is intended to improve safety and efficiency across a wide range of industries, including:

  • Oil and Gas

  • Offshore

  • Construction

  • Manufacturing

  • Aerospace

The GRIPPS Gap Wrap features a bright red PVC edge binding that provides added edge strength and acts as a clear visual warning for workers on site.

The device is designed to fill gaps around floor penetrations such as:

  • Drill floors

  • Pipework

  • Columns

  • Drill pipes

  • Other industrial penetrations and openings

The Gap Wrap can be quickly secured to flooring using:

  • Screws

  • Zip ties

  • Corner eyelets

Dropped Object Prevention Around Floor Penetrations

One of the key challenges during shutdown and maintenance work is the risk of tools, parts, and other objects being dropped through gaps around columns, pipes, or drill strings.

Dropped objects can:

  • Damage equipment

  • Damage property

  • Create hazards for personnel

  • Create risks around drill pipe

  • Create downhole hazards in Oil and Gas operations

The GRIPPS Gap Wrap is designed to provide a safer and more practical method of covering these openings.

Durable and Flexible Encapsulation

The GRIPPS Gap Wrap provides a flexible encapsulation solution that can be wrapped around columns or drill pipes to create a secure covering similar to a Poncho Hole Cover.

The device is manufactured from high-strength polyethylene material designed to provide resistance against:

  • Tearing

  • Puncturing

  • Harsh working environments

  • Extreme temperatures

Its flexible construction allows the Gap Wrap to adapt around different penetrations while maintaining coverage around the opening.

Unique Grip Pattern

The GRIPPS Gap Wrap incorporates a unique grip pattern designed to help hold tools and other objects in place.

This grip surface helps reduce the possibility of items:

  • Slipping

  • Moving toward an opening

  • Falling through floor penetrations

By helping control loose items around open penetrations, the Gap Wrap supports reduced dropped-object risk and can help workers perform tasks with greater confidence and efficiency.
