Answer from Ningbo Changshi: It might seem like a minor detail, but a high-quality lubricant is one of the most cost-effective tools for a successful cable pull. Its importance cannot be overstated.

• Friction Reduction: Lubricants drastically reduce the coefficient of friction between the cable jacket and the inner wall of the conduit. This directly lowers the pulling tension required to install the cable, which in turn reduces the risk of over-tensioning and damaging the cable.

• Time and Labor Savings: Lower tension means a faster, smoother pull with less stress on the equipment and fewer man-hours.

• Equipment Preservation: Using lubricant lessens the strain on the pulling machine, extending its service life and reducing the need for maintenance.

Similarly, cleaning tools like mandrels and brushes are essential. They are used to clear debris from the conduit before a pull. Any dirt, rocks, or even small irregularities can increase friction and risk damaging the cable, making the cleaning process a vital preparatory step.
