The type of sheave or roller used depends on the environment and the specific needs of the pull. We offer a wide range of these tools to suit various project requirements.

• Overhead OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks: These are sheaves that are designed to be mounted on transmission towers or poles. They come in various sizes and configurations (e.g., single, multi-sheave, or bundle blocks) to accommodate different types of conductors and the number of bundles being strung.

• underground Trench Rollers: For underground projects, rollers are placed at the bottom of a trench to keep the cable elevated and reduce friction. These can be straight rollers for linear sections or specialized corner rollers to guide the cable around bends without exceeding the minimum bend radius.

• Manhole and Conduit Rollers: These are specifically designed for use in confined spaces like manholes. They are often angled or pivoting to guide the cable smoothly from a manhole entry into a duct or conduit, minimizing sidewall pressure.

Using the correct type of roller is essential for a smooth, damage-free installation, and they are a vital part of a comprehensive cable laying system.
