Trak has been one of our best-selling products since 2017 which we put down to constantly reviewing and revising how it fits in with our customers’ needs. “Saving time and costs is always a key focus on any project and in line with customer feedback, we have developed a multi-tier bracket which is four-sided with suspension points on every face. This offers the potential to attach multiple services in any direction, which adds even more versatility for installers. “The simplicity of the Fast Trak system reduces the labour requirement on site which is ideal in the context of current Covid restrictions, while also reducing the time spent working at height and removing the need for cutting and filing.” The Fast Trak range was originally launched in 2017 and such has been the growth in demand for the product, Gripple has invested in a dedicated manufacturing site for the product, the company’s fifth manufacturing site in Sheffield, to enhance production capabilities. As a UK manufactured solution, Fast Trak removes the stresses associated with the increasing cost of raw materials and subsequent availability of supply.
