They make a grip that has a ring on one end sized for your conduit. So
you can put a box in and the grip will have the weight hanging on the box.
Since riser grips are expensive, some people do just get a plain kellems
grip and hang the bail on a bolt screwed into the back of the box.
....and go ahead and call me a nut if you want to, but if you stuff the
pipe 100% full of cables they'll hang with just friction. I'm aware of
a 300' vertical run where the only support was a wad of electrical tape
at the top. It was done about 15 years ago, and it's still running
error free.

Three of our elevator site are migrating to conduit required. We have
to retrofit, that sucks. but you guys using conduit, how are you
dealing with cable weight? any primary site we build out now, we
pre-run 12 ethernet top to bottom, this gets weighty, especially with
BBDGE. How often to you put breakout boxes to secure the cable, and
what are you tying it off with? cable grips are expensive.
