What safety precautions should be taken when using a cable pulling grip?
2025-08-14Safety is our top priority at Ningbo Changshi. Before each use, always:
-
Inspect the Grip: Check for any frayed, broken, or rusted wires. If any damage is present, the grip should be immediately replaced.
-
Ensure Proper Sizing: Confirm that the grip is the correct size for the cable to prevent slippage.
-
Use a Swivel: For long pulls or pulls with bends, a Swivel should be used between the pulling grip and the winch line. This prevents the cable from twisting and damaging the grip or the cable itself.
-
Secure the Grip: For high-tension pulls, we highly recommend using steel bands or strong tape to secure the tail end of the grip to the cable, preventing it from opening or snagging.
-
Adhere to Load Limits: Never exceed the grip's specified Working Load Limit (WLL).
Using these tips will help ensure the safety of your personnel and the integrity of your equipment.
