What are the best practices for a successful and safe cable pulling installation?
2025-08-14Successful 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.
