-
Underground Winches/Pullers: A compact, high-capacity winch or puller is used to provide the controlled pulling force. Our underground winches are designed to fit into manholes and come with remote controls to ensure the operator can remain in a safe position.

pulling grips and Swivels: A properly rated pulling grip is used to securely attach the cable to the pulling rope, while a Swivel is a vital accessory that prevents the cable from twisting during the pull.
