How do you properly space and set up cable rollers for a long trench run?

2025-08-14
Proper setup is vital to minimize friction and tension. The spacing of underground-Cable-Laying-Equipment-and-Tools.html target='_blank'>cable rollers depends on the type of cable, its diameter, weight, and the pulling tension. As a general best practice, rollers should be placed at regular intervals to ensure the cable is always supported and does not drag. A leading roller should always be used at the beginning of the pull to support the cable over the entire drum width. For corners and bends, multiple corner rollers can be linked together to create a smooth, controlled radius. We recommend consulting the specific cable manufacturer's parameters for minimum bending radius and maximum pulling tension to determine the optimal roller spacing for your project.
