Unistrut P1000 Suspension Grid Kit
A best-in-class modular strut kit that combines heavy-duty cold-rolled steel channels with pre-engineered fittings for broad suspension applications in suspension rod and grid kits. It earns its position through structural versatility and competitive per-foot material cost compared with cable-based systems like Gripple, making it especially cost-effective for long runs and large projects while being easier to adapt on-site than strictly threaded-rod solutions such as the Cooper B-Line kit.

Gripple Fast Trak Suspension System
A market-leading suspension approach focused on speed and labor savings, with tool-free adjustable couplers and pre-cut tracks that dramatically reduce install time. Financially advantageous for labor-sensitive projects, its tensioned-wire method also minimizes vibration transfer and simplifies seismic adjustments, distinguishing it technically from rigid strut systems like Hilti and the piece-part approach of Unistrut or Cooper B-Line.
