What are the key safety precautions and best practices when using an armoured cable pulling machine?

2025-08-14

Answer: Safety is paramount. When using our equipment, we always recommend the following best practices:

  • Proper Setup: Ensure the machine is securely anchored, and the cable drum is mounted on stable drum jacks with adequate ground clearance to prevent twisting or kinking.

  • Tension Management: Use a machine with a tension indicator to monitor and maintain pulling force within the cable's maximum allowable tension. This prevents damage to the cable's insulation and armor.

  • Use Proper Accessories: Utilize specialized equipment like cable socks, Swivels, and rollers. Swivel links prevent cable torsion, while rollers guide the cable smoothly around bends and through conduits, minimizing friction and stress.

  • Maintain Bending Radius: Adhere to the cable manufacturer’s minimum bending radius to prevent damage, especially with armoured cables. Avoid sharp bends at all costs.
