Answer from Ningbo Changshi: While a winch trailer and a cable pulling trailer both play a role in moving cable, they are not the same. A cable pulling trailer, or cable reel trailer, is primarily a mobile platform designed to transport and dispense the cable drum. It holds the drum and allows the cable to be unspooled in a controlled manner.

A winch trailer, on the other hand, is a self-contained unit that houses a powered winch, or puller, and is used to pull the cable through a conduit or over a long distance. While some cable trailers can have a winch mounted on them, their primary function remains transportation and controlled payoff. When choosing equipment, it is crucial to understand whether your project requires a trailer for transporting and paying out the cable or a trailer for the pulling force itself. We offer both types of trailers, as well as combination units, to provide a complete solution for any power line or underground project.
