F3-307 Fork Gripper Acoustic Panel Suspension Kit - 1.5 mm Rope, 3 m

A ready-to-install suspension kit built around the F3-307 fork gripper. Each kit pairs one nickel-plated fork gripper (M4 male thread, 57 mm body) with 3 m of 1.5 mm 7x7 stainless steel wire rope, the matching brass ceiling fixing part and a rope end sleeve. The open fork jaw clamps straight onto the acoustic panel edge, so no plate, bracket or hanger is fitted to the panel; a single acoustic panel can be hung and levelled in minutes without cutting or swaging on site.

What Ships In One Kit

• 1 x F3-307 self-locking fork gripper, nickel plated brass body
• 3 m x 1.5 mm 7x7 stainless steel wire rope (custom length on request)
• 1 x brass ceiling fixing part with matching M4 thread, as shown
• 1 x wire rope end sleeve / stopper
• 1 x installation leaflet with load table

Why Installers Choose This Kit For Acoustic Ceilings

Soundproofing panels are heavy, awkward and rarely sit on a perfect grid. The fork gripper solves that with a spring-loaded locking collet: the rope slides in freely, grips the moment it is released, and can be re-adjusted by pushing the release collar. That means a two-person panel lift becomes a one-person job, and a wavy concrete slab no longer ruins the sight line of the finished ceiling.

• Tool-free height correction of 0-30 mm after the panel is already in place
• Grip force rises with load - no creeping under continuous panel weight
• Open fork jaw grips the acoustic panel directly - no bracket or plate on the panel
• Nickel plating resists humidity in basements and studio rooms

Specifications

Installation In Four Steps

1. Fix the ceiling attachment to the slab or ceiling grid at the marked spacing, then screw the fork gripper into it.
2. Thread the wire rope through the fork gripper from the side exit until it seats.
3. Fit the rope end sleeve, then press the open fork jaw straight onto the panel edge - the jaw straddles and locks on the panel itself.
4. Lift the panel, pull the rope to rough height, release, and fine-tune by hand.

Common Questions

Can the rope length be changed? Yes. The 3 m rope is only a default; the kit is cut to any length from 0.5 m to 10 m at no tooling cost, and the rope can be shortened on site because the collet grips anywhere along its length.

Will one kit hold a 600x600 panel? One kit per corner is the normal rule, which gives a 4-point suspension with a combined safe load far above typical mineral wool or fabric panel weights.

Is the ceiling attachment included? Yes - every kit ships with the ceiling attachment shown above for concrete, timber batten or metal grid; tell us the substrate and we will pack the matching version.
