What is the essential equipment for a safe and efficient underground cable pull?

2025-08-16

A safe and efficient underground cable pull is impossible without the right equipment. Our professional-grade tools are designed to work together to protect the cable and the workers.

  • Hydraulic Cable Puller/Winch: The heart of the operation. Our hydraulic pullers provide a constant, controllable pulling force. Many models include a tension meter to prevent over-tensioning that could damage the cable's internal conductors.

  • Duct Rodder: A fiberglass rodder is essential for feeding the pulling rope through long, complex conduit runs. Its smooth, flexible surface and high tensile strength allow it to navigate bends and obstacles easily.

  • underground-Cable-Laying-Equipment-and-Tools.html target='_blank'>cable rollers and Sheaves: These are placed at manholes, vaults, and bends in the conduit. They reduce the friction on the cable during the pull, protecting the outer sheath from abrasion and wear.

  • Cable Swivels and Grips: A pulling Swivel is attached between the pulling rope and the cable grip. It prevents the rope from twisting, which could cause the cable to kink. The wire mesh pulling grip distributes the pulling force evenly over the cable's surface.

  • Hydraulic drum stands: For large, heavy reels of cable, a hydraulic drum stand safely lifts and controls the rotation of the drum, ensuring a smooth, damage-free unspooling process.
