Professional Answer (On behalf of Ningbo Changshi): Safety is our top priority at Ningbo Changshi. The safe operation of a cable pulling capstan winch is critical to prevent equipment damage and, most importantly, to protect personnel. We ensure safety through the following measures and recommended best practices:

1. Accurate Tension Control: Our winches are equipped with advanced tension control systems to prevent exceeding the cable's maximum tension limit, which can cause damage. We emphasize the importance of monitoring tension throughout the pulling operation.

2. Proper Anchoring: A winch must be anchored to a stable, fixed object with an anchoring capacity at least twice the maximum anticipated pulling force. This prevents the winch from being pulled toward the load, ensuring a secure and safe setup.

3. Synchronization with Other Equipment: For complex projects, our winches can be synchronized with cable pushers to control back tension, especially around bends in underground ducts. This coordination is essential for maintaining consistent force and protecting the cable.

4. Operator Training: We provide comprehensive documentation and support to ensure operators are fully trained on the equipment’s functions, safety features, and proper operation techniques. Our winches also include safety features like overload protection and emergency braking.

Following these practices is key to maintaining a safe working environment and achieving a successful installation.
