Answer from Ningbo Changshi: The choice between steel and synthetic pulling lines depends on the specific demands of your project. Each material has its unique advantages.

• Choose steel pulling wire when:

  • Maximum Durability is Required: Steel wire is highly resistant to abrasion and can withstand contact with sharp edges, rocks, and rough surfaces found in many construction environments.

  • High-Load, Long-Distance Pulls: For pulling extremely heavy or long conductors, steel offers a superior strength-to-diameter ratio and minimal stretch under high tension.

  • High-Heat Environments: Steel can withstand high temperatures better than most synthetic materials.

• Choose synthetic pulling rope when:

  • Weight is a Factor: Synthetic ropes are significantly lighter than steel wires of a comparable strength, making them easier to handle and transport, especially for manual or low-tension pulls.

  • Safety is a Primary Concern: In the event of a rope failure, a synthetic rope's energy dissipates, causing it to fall to the ground. A snapping steel wire, however, can recoil with extreme force, posing a serious safety risk.

At Ningbo Changshi, we offer both steel and synthetic options, and we can help you evaluate your project's specific needs to determine the safest and most efficient choice.
