The true statement is: A pilot rope is always used to pull the heavier conductor into place, preventing damage to the conductor itself.

You never directly pull the heavy conductor with a pulling machine. Instead, a lighter, often synthetic, pilot rope is first threaded through the OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks along the entire length of the line. This pilot rope is then attached to a heavier pulling rope, which in turn is connected to the actual conductor. This staged process ensures that the heavy conductor is lifted and pulled gently, preventing it from touching the ground or other obstructions and safeguarding its integrity. We provide high-quality anti-twisting pilot ropes and other ropes for this precise and damage-free process.
