Why should I invest in a cable pulling winch?
A cable pulling winch takes the heavy pulling —literally—out of cable installation. Whether you're pulling cables through tight spaces, over long distances, or across challenging terrains, a winch provides the power and control you need to get the job done faster and with less effort. From electric winches for consistent power to battery-powered options for on-the-go flexibility, there's a winch to make every cable-pulling task easier.
Most applications involve pulling SWA (steel wired armoured) cable, which is heavier and more rigid than standard cables. Cable pulling winches are specifically designed to handle these demanding loads, providing the torque and stability required to pull SWA cables efficiently while preventing strain or damage to the cable.
How do I know which cable pulling winch is right for my project?
It all depends on the job. For day-to-day projects where you have easy access to power, an electric winch for cable pulling is a reliable choice. If you're moving between sites or working in areas without electricity, a battery-powered winch gives you freedom and mobility. For larger industrial tasks, a petrol winch is your go-to, delivering extra muscle when you need serious pulling power.
What other tools work well with cable pulling winches?
Pairing your cable pulling winch with cable drum jacks can make your job a lot easier. The jacks hold the drum steady while you pull, making sure everything stays smooth. You can also use cable rollers to guide the cable and keep things running without a hitch. Together, these tools make cable installation quicker and simpler.
