What are the different types of cable pulling equipment and their specific uses?
2025-08-15Answer: As a leading manufacturer, we understand that selecting the right equipment is crucial for a safe and efficient project. Cable pulling equipment can be categorized by its function:
-
Cable Pulling Winches & Tuggers: These are high-power machines, often hydraulic, used for long, heavy-duty pulls of large conductors in both overhead and underground projects.
-
Cable Drum Jacks & Trailers: Essential for handling large cable drums, these pieces of equipment lift and support the drums, allowing for controlled and stable unwinding of the cable during a pull.
-

-
Cable pulling grips (Socks): These are temporary, reusable tools that attach to the end of the cable to connect it to the pulling rope or winch.
-
Conduit Rods: Fiberglass rods used to clear conduits of debris and install pilot ropes for the subsequent cable pull.
-
Cable Lubricants: Specialized gels or fluids applied to the cable to reduce friction, protect the cable's outer jacket, and decrease the overall pulling force required.
