What safety measures should be in place when operating heavy-duty cable pulling equipment?
2025-08-14Safety is our top priority. Operators must be properly trained and follow strict protocols.
-
Securely anchor the equipment: The winch or puller must be anchored to a support that can withstand at least three times the maximum pulling force.
-
Use a tension gauge: A tension monitoring system is a must-have to prevent over-tensioning the cable. The operator should constantly monitor this gauge and be prepared to stop the pull if tension spikes suddenly.
-
Inspect all components: Before each use, all equipment—including ropes, Swivels, and anchors—must be thoroughly inspected for any signs of wear or damage.
-
Maintain a clear work area: Keep all personnel, loose clothing, and body parts away from rotating parts and pinch points. All of our equipment is designed with robust safety features, but proper on-site procedures are essential.
