THE RIZE SYSTEM

THE RIZE SYSTEM by Zip-Clip is a cutting-edge solution revolutionising wire rope installations, catering to the dynamic requirements of both lightweight and heavy-duty applications.

This versatile system combines precision-engineered wire ropes in various diameters and lengths with Zip-Clip locking devices, empowering installers to customize drop lengths on-site, ensuring a tailored and efficient installation process.

AVAILABILITY:

Zip-Clip offers five distinct systems, each designated with a letter to signify safe working loads (SWL).

These systems include specific wire rope diameters paired with corresponding Zip-Clip devices.

  • Loads indicated are per individual wire rope support when coupled with the appropriate Zip-Clip locking device.
  • Third-party test certificates available upon request.
  • All safe working loads and certifications are based on the Zip-Clip Rize devices being used in conjunction with Zip-Clip high tensile wire rope.
  • Zip-Clip cannot guarantee the safe working load of a product when used with non Zip-Clip wire rope and cannot support projects where non Zip-Clip wire rope has been used

THE FLEXIBILITY OF A ZIP CLIP RIZE DEVICE

Figure of Eight Suspension

 The KL200 can be used to make a figure of eight suspension, using just one device.

  • Insert the wire rope into the “through-hole” of the KL200. Note, this through-hole has no locking wedge inside it. The wire rope will move freely through this hole.
  • Wrap the wire rope around your chosen anchor point and return it back into the KL200 using the available locking channel. Ensure the exit tail is 15 cm.
  • All safe working loads and certifications are based on the Zip-Clip Rize devices being used in conjunction with Zip-Clip high tensile wire rope.
  • Always confirm the engagement of the Zip-Clip device on the wire rope by pushing the adjustment pin in the opposite direction of the arrows indicated on the side of the Zip-Clip device.
  • Repeat this process with the other end of wire rope.
  • Wrap the wire rope around your chosen fixture/application and return the wire rope back into the KL200 using the available locking channel. Again, ensure the exit tail is 15 cm.

Clip Top and Bottom

Zip-Clip’s RIZE system offers the flexibility to customise your own drop lengths and is ideal for long drops with no limit on length.
A device is used to anchor the wire rope to the soffit/ceiling structure and another to attach to the fixture/application

Inline Joint

By following the arrows on each side of the Zip-Clip device, an inline joint can be created. This can be used to extend a drop length that is too short. Ensure the exit tails are 15 cm.

All Round Loop

A Zip-Clip device can be used to create an all-round loop by joining two free ends of wire rope together. This can be coupled with a fixing or fixings of choice in order to create one full suspension.

  • Cut double the length of wire rope required for the final drop length.
  • Pass or feed one end of wire rope around your chosen anchor point and return this wire rope into one locking channel of the
    device. Ensure the exit tail is 15 cm.
  • Take the other end of wire rope and pass/feed this around your chosen fixture/application, returning the wire rope back into the other available locking channel. Ensure the exit tail is 15 cm.

Stop End Bracket

As each Zip-Clip device has a flat face across its smallest axis, it can be used as a stopper unit by feeding the wire rope through just one channel. Adjustment can be made by the key-free release mechanism.


By incorporating an optional penny washer/channel nut above each device, the supporting surface area can be increased.


This method is ideal for multi-tier trapeze drops offering a quick, cost-effective, and simple solution which can be used in two different guises, see diagram.


Installers must ensure that 10-15 cm of wire rope exits through the back of each device once locked off, known as the dead wire.

MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS

The Zip-Clip system is designed to support STATIC loads only.


Dynamic and shock loads must be avoided and can greatly increase the overall weight of the product being suspended and therefore compromise the safe working load of the suspension.

 

To ensure integrity and safety of the system only Zip-Clip wire rope should be used.

  • Do not exceed the safe working load (SWL) of the product.
  • Do not use locking devices with a coated wire rope.
  • Do not paint or apply any other coating.
  • Do not lubricate.
  • Do not use for lifting applications.
  • Remove any frayed cable prior to inserting into the locking devices.
  • Do not shock load.
  • Do not use for dynamic loads/installations.
  • Do not overload.
  • Do not mix Zip-Clip systems with other wire rope suspension manufacturers products.
  • Do not use in corrosive environments, e.g. chlorinated environments

For specialist applications, such as corrosive environments,

please contact Zip-Clip Technical Department.

INSTALLATION FACTORS

Installers must pay attention to the nature of the installation process.


Certain installations, such as cable pulling, will introduce dynamic forces onto the supports. Where this might be the case, it is advised to select heavier duty systems.


Ball Strikes – Where this may be a potential factor, such as installations within sports halls, heavier duty wire rope supports should be utilised to offer maximum resistance to dynamic shock loads.


Zip-Clip cannot guarantee its systems against the effects of ball strikes.
