What are the essential components of a complete utility-scale cable pulling system?

2025-08-16

Answer from Ningbo Changshi: A professional utility-scale cable pulling system is more than just a pulling machine; it's a synchronized assembly of equipment that manages every stage of the process. The essential components include:

  • pulling machine: A powerful, engine-driven hydraulic winch or puller that provides the controlled pulling force. This is often the centerpiece of the system.

  • Tensioning Machine: For overhead projects, a OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner is used at the opposite end of the puller to maintain a constant back tension on the conductor. This prevents the conductor from sagging too far and touching the ground or other obstacles. The puller and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner must work in perfect sync to ensure a safe and smooth stringing process.

  • Conductor/Cable Reels and Stands: Heavy-duty cable Reel Stands, reel trailers, and Reel Winders are used to safely pay out or take up the conductor or cable. These must be rated to handle the immense weight of utility-grade reels.

  • Stringing Blocks: Also known as sheaves, these are strategically placed along the route—on poles or towers—to support the conductor during the pull and guide it smoothly through the air.

  • Connection and Monitoring Accessories: This includes a wide array of tools such as high-strength pulling grips, Swivels, and pulling ropes. Real-time tension meters are crucial for monitoring the force and preventing over-stressing the conductor.

Our company specializes in providing all these components, ensuring a fully compatible and safe system.
