What essential tools and accessories are required for low voltage cable pulling?
2025-08-15A successful LV cable pull requires a system of tools, not just a single item. From our comprehensive product line, the essential tools include:
-
Fish Tapes and Glow Rods: These are fundamental tools used to route a pull string or pilot line through conduits and inaccessible spaces. Our non-conductive fiberglass rods are ideal for safety in live environments.
-
Cable Pulling Winches/Pullers: For longer or tougher pulls, a compact, powered winch or puller is essential. It provides a consistent, high-power pull with a controlled speed, reducing manual effort and minimizing the risk of cable damage.
-
Cable Pulling Lubricant: A professional-grade lubricant significantly reduces friction, allowing for a smoother, easier pull at a lower tension.
-
Conduit Sheaves & underground-Cable-Laying-Equipment-and-Tools.html target='_blank'>cable rollers: These guides are placed at conduit entry points and bends to support the cable and protect it from abrasion and kinking.
-
pulling grips and Swivels: A secure pulling grip (or sock) is essential for attaching the cable to the pulling rope. A Swivel is used to prevent the cable from twisting during the pull.
