What equipment is essential for a safe and efficient 66kV cable installation?
2025-08-14A successful 66kV cable laying project requires a full suite of specialized tools and equipment to handle the heavy, large-diameter cables safely. As a leading manufacturer, Ningbo Changshi provides a comprehensive range of solutions for this purpose. Essential equipment includes:
-
Hydraulic Cable Pulling Winch: This is the core piece of equipment for pulling long lengths of heavy cable through trenches, ducts, or conduits. It must have precise tension control and a load-limiting device to protect the cable from over-stressing.
-
Cable drum stands & Trailers: Used to safely support and unwind the heavy cable drums. Our hydraulic drum stands are designed for robust and stable operation, allowing for smooth cable deployment.
-

-
conductor pulling Tools: This includes specialized cable pulling socks or pulling eyes that securely attach to the cable's conductor or sheath. A Swivel link is used to connect the pulling eye to the winch rope, allowing rotation and preventing cable twisting.
-
Cable Trenching & Duct Laying Tools: Tools for preparing the trench, such as shoring and trench shields, as well as equipment for laying and sealing ducts, are also vital for a compliant and secure installation.
Using the right equipment not only ensures the integrity of the cable but also significantly improves project efficiency and worker safety.
