A successful cable pulling project requires a combination of specialized tools for efficiency and safety. The most essential tools often include:

  • Cable Pulling Winches: Powerful machines for pulling heavy cables over long distances. We offer a wide range of winches suitable for overhead transmission lines and underground cable laying.

  • underground-Cable-Laying-Equipment-and-Tools.html target='_blank'>cable rollers and Sheaves: These are crucial for guiding cables and reducing friction at corners, bends, or along the trench, protecting the cable from damage.

  • Cable Grips and Swivels: Grips securely attach the pulling rope to the cable, while Swivels prevent the cable from twisting during the pull, which is vital for maintaining the cable's integrity.

  • Duct Rodders or Fish Tapes: These are used to guide the pulling rope or a smaller line through conduits and ducts before the main cable is pulled.

  • Cable Drum Jacks or Trailers: These pieces of equipment are necessary for safely and stably supporting the heavy cable drums, ensuring smooth feeding of the cable during the pulling process.
