Xprt grip clip test results
Grip CliP Testing
To assess performance under controlled conditions, the XPRT Grip Clip was independently tested in 2025 by LMATS, a NATA-accredited Australian testing laboratory used by major industries.
Testing simulated common ladder loading scenarios, including:
• Side loading
• Transitioning between ladder and roof
• Outward loading forces
• Tension applied through the elastic cord
Testing was conducted under controlled laboratory conditions.
Lateral and outwards test
Lateral (sideways) and Outwards (away from gutter)
In lateral, sideways loading tests, the clips gradually moved along the gutter edge at approximately 28 to 33kg of applied force. The clips did not fracture during testing.
In outward loading tests, the Grip Clip withstood between 54 and 72kg of applied force depending on the setup, with minimal deformation observed.
These results demonstrate that the XPRT Grip Clip is capable of withstanding significant applied forces without sudden structural failure under controlled test conditions.
tensile test
What’s tensile testing and why does it matter?
Tensile testing measures how much pulling force a component can withstand before failure.
For the XPRT Grip Clip, tensile testing was conducted on the elastic cord assembly to determine maximum load capacity.
In testing, the cord assembly withstood up to 75kg of applied pulling force before failure occurred. In most samples, the cord or outer sheath failed before the metal clips, indicating the load was absorbed through the elastic component as intended.
This data provides measurable performance benchmarks for the product when tension is applied during use.
Important Note
Laboratory testing does not replicate all real-world conditions. The XPRT Grip Clip is a ladder stability accessory designed to assist with grip at the contact point. It is not a fall-protection or fall-arrest device.
