What are the different types of cable pulling pulleys?
2025-08-15Cable pulling pulleys are designed for specific applications, especially in power line construction. The main types we manufacture include:
-
Straight Line Rollers: These are used for long, straight cable runs in open trenches or on overhead suspension lines. Their purpose is to support the cable and prevent it from dragging.
-
Corner Rollers: Also known as corner pulleys or quadrant blocks, these are used to guide the cable smoothly around bends or corners. They are typically configured with multiple sheaves to maintain the cable's bending radius and prevent kinking.
-
Manhole or Conduit Entry Rollers: Designed to be placed at the entrance of a manhole or conduit, these rollers safely guide the cable into the underground duct system, regardless of the pulling angle.
-
Overhead OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks: Specifically for overhead line projects, these blocks are mounted on tower arms to support and guide the conductor during the tension stringing process. They come in various configurations for single or bundled conductors.
