What are the different types of truck-mounted cable pulling systems available?
2025-08-16Answer from Ningbo Changshi: Truck-mounted cable pulling systems are specialized and can be configured in a few key ways to meet specific project needs. The primary types are:
-
Integrated Winch Trucks: These are the most common type, featuring a powerful hydraulic winch (often with a bullwheel design) built directly into the rear platform of the truck. This setup provides maximum pulling force and is ideal for long-distance, heavy-duty underground pulls.
-
Winch Trucks with Integrated Spooling: Our most advanced models include an integrated spooling system. This system uses hydraulic controls to automatically guide the pulling rope back and forth across the winch drum, ensuring even and consistent spooling. This feature prolongs the life of the pulling rope and improves the efficiency of the operation.
-
Hub Drive Pullers: A newer, specialized type of cable handler that is not a traditional winch. These use a unique hydraulic arm system to directly pull from the cable reel, which is mounted on the truck. They are excellent for both pulling and retrieving, with a high degree of control and a focus on minimizing cable damage.
We offer various configurations to ensure our customers can find the perfect truck-mounted solution for their specific application, from a simple puller to a complete cable handling and installation system.
