How do I choose the right cable pulling machine for my project?

2025-08-15

Selecting the correct machine is vital for both safety and efficiency. To make an informed decision, you should consider the following factors:

  • Pulling Capacity: This is the most critical specification. The machine's pulling force must exceed the maximum tension required for your project, which is determined by the weight of the cable, the length of the pull, and the number of bends in the route. Our product specifications clearly state the maximum pulling force (kN) for each machine.

  • Power Source: We offer machines powered by diesel, gasoline, or electric motors. Diesel hydraulic pullers are ideal for large-scale, remote worksites due to their power and durability. Electric pullers are perfect for substation or indoor work where emissions are a concern.

  • Application: Will the machine be used for overhead or underground projects? Some machines, like our hydraulic puller-OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners, are specifically designed for overhead work, while others, like our underground winches, are built for manhole and duct pulling.

  • Safety Features: Look for integrated safety features such as tension monitoring systems, overload protection, and emergency shut-off controls. These features are standard on our machines and are critical for preventing accidents and equipment damage.
