Cable Pulling Equipment & Products


Cable Pulling Equipment & Products

Jointing Tech supplies cable pulling equipment for safer, more efficient cable installation through ducts, troughs, trenches and other cable routes. Our range includes cable pulling stockings, cable rollers, cable drum-handling equipment, draw cord and rope, duct brushes, cleaning foam pigs, fibreglass rodding systems, bellmouths, swivels and pulling lubricants.

The right cable pulling tools can help protect the cable during installation, reduce friction and make it easier to manage cable routes in confined spaces or over longer distances. Whether you are installing LV, MV, fibre, telecoms or specialist cable, our team can help you identify suitable equipment for the job.

Cable pulling requires careful planning to avoid damaging the cable or creating unsafe site conditions. Before selecting equipment, consider the cable diameter, cable weight, route length, bends, duct size, pulling direction, available access points and the installation environment.

Cable pulling stockings, also known as cable socks, are similar to a cable outer sheath and are used to hold the cable's outer sheath during pulling. Cable rollers support and guide the cable as it travels, helping minimise abrasion and friction. Cable drum-handling equipment can help position and pay out the cable safely, and draw ropes and rods can be used to set up a pull route through appropriate ducts.
Duct preparation is also crucial. Duct brushes and duct foam pigs clear suitable ducts before cable installation, and bellmouths protect the cable as it passes through a duct. When properly used and selected, swivels and links control the pulling line at the cable attachment and can eliminate unwanted twists in the pulling line during the pull.

Always follow the cable manufacturer’s recommendations for maximum pulling tension, minimum bending radius, lubrication compatibility and installation method. Use suitable equipment that is rated for the application, inspect it before use and ensure the work is undertaken by competent personnel in accordance with site procedures.

For product support, provide the cable type, outside diameter, route length, duct size, cable weight where known, access conditions and any pulling-tension limits.

FAQs

What is a cable pulling stocking?

A cable pulling stocking is a woven grip that fits over a cable and provides an attachment point for pulling it through a route.

Why are cable rollers used?

Cable rollers support and guide a cable during installation, helping reduce friction, abrasion and potential damage.

Do I need lubricant for cable pulling?

A compatible cable-pulling lubricant may be useful where permitted by the cable manufacturer and appropriate for the cable, duct and installation conditions.

How do I choose a cable rod or draw rope?

Consider the duct route, length, bends, cable size, required pulling arrangement and the equipment’s rated capacity.
