While the terms are often used interchangeably, there is a technical distinction, especially in professional contexts:

• Cable Puller: This term is typically used for a machine with a large, rotating bullwheel or capstan that applies a pulling force to the conductor. The cable itself is often passed through the machine without being stored on a drum. The primary purpose is controlled, high-force tensioning and pulling, particularly for long runs.

• Winch: A winch is a device that wraps a rope or cable around a drum to exert a pulling force. While some winches are used for cable pulling, the term is also used for hoisting and other lifting applications. Our capstan winches are specifically designed for controlled pulling, featuring a high-capacity drum to manage the pulling rope.

At Ningbo Changshi, we offer both types, each optimized for specific applications to ensure you have the precise tool for the job.
