What essential equipment is used for underground power cable pulling?

2025-08-15

For a professional and safe underground power cable pull, a complete system of equipment is required. The key tools include:

  • Cable Winch: This is the primary pulling machine, providing the controlled force required for the pull. Our range includes hydraulic, diesel, and petrol winches designed for various pulling capacities.

  • underground-Cable-Laying-Equipment-and-Tools.html target='_blank'>cable rollers: These are placed along the trench or in manholes and conduits to support the cable and reduce friction. They come in straight, corner, and quadrant configurations to accommodate any route.

  • Cable Socks (Grips): These are flexible, woven wire stockings that securely grip the end of the cable without damaging the outer sheath. They connect the cable to the winch's pulling rope via a Swivel link.

  • Duct Rods and Lubricants: Duct rods are used to "fish" a pilot line through a conduit. This line is then used to pull the main cable. Pulling lubricants are a must-have to significantly reduce friction.

Using this coordinated system of equipment ensures the integrity of the cable from start to finish.
