What essential equipment is required for a 132kV cable installation project?
2025-08-16The right equipment is not an option—it's a necessity. For a 132kV project, every tool must be professional-grade, reliable, and designed to handle the specific demands of EHV cables.
-
Hydraulic Cable Pullers with Tension Monitoring: This is the single most critical piece of equipment. Our hydraulic pullers are specifically designed to apply a smooth, controlled force with a real-time dynamometer that provides a fail-safe against over-tensioning. This protects the conductor and insulation from damage, which is non-recoverable.

Heavy-Duty underground-Cable-Laying-Equipment-and-Tools.html target='_blank'>cable rollers and Sheaves: Because of the cable's weight and stiffness, rollers are essential for reducing friction and protecting the cable's outer sheath. Our heavy-duty rollers and sheaves are built to handle the immense weight and are positioned to maintain the manufacturer's specified minimum bending radius at all turns.
-
Hydraulic drum stands and Trailers: Safely unspooling a massive 132kV cable reel requires a robust system. Our hydraulic drum stands provide a secure platform to lift and control the rotation of the drum, preventing kinking or uncontrolled movement that could lead to injury or cable damage.
-
Cable Grips and Swivels: The connection between the cable and the pulling rope must be robust yet protective. A wire mesh pulling grip distributes the pulling force evenly over a large area, while a high-load Swivel prevents rope torsion from being transferred to the cable, avoiding kinking and damage.
