How do I choose the right pulling grip for a specific cable?
2025-08-16Choosing the correct pulling grip is crucial to prevent cable slippage or damage. The selection process is based on three critical factors:
-
Cable Diameter: The most important factor. The pulling grip must be sized to fit the exact outside diameter of the cable. A grip that is too large will slip, while one that is too small will not fit or may damage the cable jacket. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for the recommended cable diameter range.
-
Required Pulling Force: The grip must have a Working Load Limit (WLL) that exceeds the maximum anticipated pulling tension. For safety, we recommend choosing a grip with a WLL that is at least 3 to 4 times the calculated maximum tension of your pull.
