Safety is our top priority. Proper use and maintenance of our equipment are essential to prevent accidents and ensure the longevity of both the machine and the cable. Operators should always follow these key safety measures:

• Pre-Pull Inspection: Before any operation, conduct a thorough inspection of the machine, including the pulling rope, capstan drum, and all fittings. Ensure all components are in perfect working condition and free from damage.

• Proper Setup: The machine must be set up on a stable, level surface. The pulling path should be clear of any obstructions, and the pulling angle should be properly aligned to minimize friction and strain on the cable.

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): All personnel involved must wear appropriate PPE, including hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, and steel-toed boots.

• Tension Monitoring: Always use a tension monitor or dynamometer to ensure the pulling force does not exceed the maximum rating of the cable or the machine. Monitoring tension is critical to prevent cable damage or a catastrophic failure.

• Clear Communication: A designated team member should be in control of the pull, communicating clearly with all other workers. An emergency stop procedure should be in place and understood by everyone on-site.
