Answer from Ningbo Changshi: This distinction is critically important, especially for overhead transmission line (OHTL) projects.

• A standard steel wire rope is constructed by twisting strands of steel wires together. While strong, this twisting can create rotational torque. When a conductor is pulled over a long distance, this torque can accumulate and cause the pulling wire to twist, which can damage the conductor or affect its installation.

• An anti-twist steel pulling wire, which we manufacture, is specifically engineered to counteract this torque. It is typically constructed with an even number of braided strands (e.g., 8, 12, or 18 strands) that are twisted in alternating directions. This design ensures that the twisting forces in the wire rope are balanced out, resulting in a non-rotating or anti-twisting property.

This anti-twist feature is essential for stringing high-value conductors like OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) and multi-conductor bundles, as it prevents costly damage and ensures a smooth, controlled stringing operation from start to finish. Our anti-twist steel pulling wires are a testament to our commitment to providing safe and reliable stringing solutions.
