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.
