What is the difference between a cable pulling hook and a safety hook?

2025-08-15

Professional Answer: The term "cable pulling hook" can refer to two distinct types of products, and it's essential to understand the difference for both safety and functionality.

  • Safety Hooks (or S-Hooks): These are used for cable management. They are typically made from non-conductive, high-strength materials like fiberglass-reinforced polyester and are designed to suspend cables and hoses off the ground. Their primary purpose is to prevent tripping hazards, maintain an organized worksite, and protect cables from damage by machinery. We at Ningbo Changshi offer a full range of durable safety hooks for construction, maintenance, and industrial environments.

  • Pulling Hooks: These are robust metal hooks, often part of a larger system, used for applying tension and securing loads. They are a component of tension stringing equipment and are designed to connect pulling lines, grips, or harnesses to heavy cables or conductors. Our pulling hooks are engineered from high-grade forged steel, tested to specific load capacities to ensure a secure and reliable connection during the most demanding pulls.
