Time and Labor Savings
Material price is only part of what a suspension system costs. Labor is usually the bigger number. NEBULOK wire rope suspension removes most of the steps that make threaded rod slow, so crews finish runs sooner and move on to the next job.
Where the time goes
| Step | Threaded rod | NEBULOK wire rope |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting | Cut every rod to length and file the ends | Cut cable with a hand cutter |
| Assembly | Thread nuts, washers and hangers onto each rod | Feed cable through the gripper |
| Leveling | Turn nuts by hand at every drop | Slide to height and the gripper locks |
| Readjusting | Back off nuts or recut rod | Press the release pin and reposition |
| Tools | Saw, wrenches, deburring tools | Cable cutter only |
| Shipping and handling | Long, heavy bundles of rod | Compact cable reels and boxed grippers |

Beyond the install
- Fewer trips and lifts: lighter materials mean less handling on site
- Faster changes: height adjustments after inspection take seconds, not a recut
- Proven safety: TUV and UL tested with a 5:1 safety factor and SMACNA compliance
