What are the main categories of tools needed for a cable pulling project?

2025-08-16

A successful cable pulling or stringing project requires more than just a winch. It is a systematic process that uses a suite of interconnected tools. We categorize the essential equipment into three main groups:

  1. Pulling & Tensioning Equipment: These are the primary machines that generate the force to pull the cable. This includes hydraulic pullers, OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners, and puller-OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners. They provide the high-power, controlled force needed for overhead stringing or long underground pulls.

  2. Cable & Drum Handling Equipment: These tools manage the cable spool itself. They are crucial for safely storing, lifting, and feeding the cable into the pull. This category includes hydraulic drum stands, drum trailers, and mechanical drum jacks.

  3. Ancillary Tools & Accessories: These are the smaller, but equally vital, tools that facilitate a smooth and safe pull. This includes underground-Cable-Laying-Equipment-and-Tools.html target='_blank'>cable rollers, Swivels, pulling grips, cable lubricants, and anti-twist wire ropes. They protect the cable from damage and help manage the pull along the entire route.
