Twisting failures are common (≈20% incidence), so use anti-twist ropes. We recommend 22–24 mm steel-core ropes for high-tension work, which can cut conductor sag by ~30%. Select rope tensile strength of 300–500 MPa for HV lines, and match diameter to your puller (e.g. 18 ton puller for 500 kV lines). In corrosive or coastal environments, specify corrosion-resistant coatings (our ropes serve India/Japan coastal projects). Always keep a safety margin and 24/7 support for any fast-paced projects in regions like the Middle East or Saudi Arabia.
