Answer: 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.

  • underground-Cable-Laying-Equipment-and-Tools.html target='_blank'>cable rollers: Used to guide and support the cable, particularly in trenches or conduits, to minimize friction and prevent damage during installation.

  • 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.
