What equipment is essential for a safe and efficient heavy cable pull in conduit?
2025-08-15-
Professional Answer: For heavy, long-distance pulls in conduit, manual labor is not a safe or efficient option. We recommend a system that combines power and precision. The essential equipment includes:
-
Hydraulic Cable pulling machine: Our hydraulic pullers provide the immense and consistent pulling force needed to overcome friction while offering precise tension control to protect the cable.
-
Cable Feeder: As mentioned above, a Cable Feeder is a vital component for reducing tension and making the pull easier and safer.
-
Cable Guides and Rollers: Used at every change of direction, our specialized rollers and sheaves prevent damage and ensure a smooth path for the cable.
-
Tension Recorder: Our advanced pullers come with integrated recorders that log the pulling tension in real-time. This provides a critical record that the cable was installed within its specified tension limits, which is often required for warranty and quality assurance.
