Beyond the material itself, professionals must consider key technical specifications to ensure safety and efficiency.

• Working Load Limit (WLL): This is the most crucial safety factor. The WLL is the maximum force the rope should ever be subjected to in use. It is determined by the rope's Breaking Strength divided by a safety factor. For cable pulling, we recommend a safety factor of at least 4:1. This means the rope's breaking strength should be four times the maximum anticipated pulling force.

• Construction: The rope's construction determines its performance. We recommend double-braided nylon rope for pulling. This construction features a braided core within a braided outer jacket, which offers excellent strength, a smooth feel, and high resistance to abrasion.

• Diameter and Length: The diameter must be sufficient for the required WLL, and the rope's length must accommodate the full run, with extra length for secure attachment to the puller and cable.
