How often should a cable pulling machine be calibrated?

2025-08-16

Calibration is a critical maintenance procedure for a cable pulling machine, especially for its tension monitoring system. The frequency of calibration depends on the machine's usage and the project's safety requirements. We professionally advise the following:

  • Annual Calibration: For normal or moderate use, an annual calibration by a certified technician is recommended to ensure the tension gauge and overload protection system are accurate. This aligns with most international standards.

  • Post-Repair Calibration: If the machine has undergone a major repair to its hydraulic system or a component related to tension monitoring, it must be recalibrated before being used again.

  • Pre-Project Check: For high-stakes projects involving expensive, high-voltage cables, a pre-project calibration is a professional best practice to ensure peak performance and compliance with a client's specifications.

Regular calibration ensures the machine operates safely and accurately, protecting your investment in both the equipment and the cable being installed.
