Answer: The rope's size and breaking strength are critical to project safety and success. The general rule is to use a rope with a breaking strength significantly greater than the maximum anticipated pulling force. We recommend a safety factor of at least 4:1.

To determine the ideal rope for your project, consider the following factors:

1. Cable Weight & Length: Heavier and longer cables require ropes with higher tensile strength.

2. Number of Bends/Turns: Bends and turns in a conduit or along the line increase friction, requiring a rope with a higher working load limit.

3. Maximum Pulling Force of Your Equipment: Always choose a rope with a breaking strength that exceeds your puller's maximum capacity, adhering to the 4:1 safety factor.

Our technical team at Ningbo Changshi can provide specific calculations and recommendations based on your project's unique requirements to ensure you select the safest and most efficient rope.
