What are the most common applications for a 5-ton cable pulling winch?
2025-08-16A 5-ton (50 kN) Cable Pulling Winch is the most versatile solution for a vast number of projects, striking an ideal balance between power and portability. The most common applications include:
-
Medium-Voltage (MV) cable installation: This capacity is perfect for pulling 11kV, 22kV, and 33kV power cables in underground conduits, where friction and cable weight require significant force.
-
Telecommunications and Fiber Optic Networks: It provides the necessary power for longer-distance pulls of heavy copper or large bundles of fiber optic cables.
-
Overhead Transmission line stringing: It is used for stringing smaller to medium-sized conductors on overhead power lines, including pilot wires and smaller ACSR conductors.
-
Heavy Industrial and Commercial Construction: This machine is ideal for pulling large-diameter electrical cables through conduits and trays within factories, large buildings, and substations.
