How do I ensure safety and operational efficiency when using cable stringing pulleys?
2025-08-08Safety and efficiency are our top priorities. Best practices include:
-
Load Capacity: Always use a pulley with a rated working load that exceeds the anticipated tension of the pull. Our products feature clear markings for their maximum rated load.
-
Inspection and Maintenance: Conduct a thorough inspection of all OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks before each use. Check for any signs of wear, damage, or defects in the sheave and frame. Proper lubrication of bearings is also essential to reduce drag and ensure smooth operation.
-
Correct Rigging: Ensure the pulleys are correctly rigged to the support structures to prevent lifting or shifting during a pull. This is especially important for corner or angle towers.
-
Conductor Protection: Never allow the conductor to touch the ground or other obstacles. The OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks are designed to keep the conductor clear of all obstructions, and any deviation can result in damage.
