What are the best practices for a successful and safe cable pulling installation?

2025-08-14

Successful cable pulling installation relies on meticulous planning and execution. We recommend the following best practices:

  • Thorough Pre-Planning: Conduct a detailed review of the cable route, including pull distance, number of bends, and conduit conditions.

  • Equipment Inspection: Before any pull, inspect all equipment such as winches, rollers, and ropes to ensure they are in optimal working condition.

  • Proper cable handling: Always handle cables with care to avoid twists or kinks. Store and transport cable drums on both flanges and always uncoil the cable at a tangent, not over the flange.

  • Lubrication: Use a high-quality cable lubricant that is chemically compatible with the cable jacket to reduce friction and pulling force.

  • Adherence to Parameters: Adhere strictly to the manufacturer's specified parameters for the cable, including its minimum bending radius and maximum pulling tension. Exceeding these limits can cause irreparable damage.

  • Wall Bearing Pressure: Monitor and manage sidewall bearing pressure, especially on bends, as excessive pressure is a leading cause of cable damage during installation. Our equipment is designed to help maintain optimal pulling conditions.
