Are Pull Tapes Helpful For Cable Installation?

Conduits play an important role in facilitating seamless underground cable installation. They protect the cables from being damaged and needing replacements. Utility supply contractors use different tools and equipment to pull cables through conduits. Although seemingly simple, pull tapes play a huge role in underground cable pulling. AMAC Equipment Limited in Richmond Hill, Ontario, supplies the best pull ropes and tapes at reasonable rates. In this blog, we discuss how helpful pull tapes are for pulling cables through conduits. Read this until the end to make an informed decision.

 

AMAC Equipment Limited Supplies Flexible Pull Tapes

 

Our pull ropes and tapes are made of polypropylene making them immensely strong and durable. Their primary purpose is to guide cables through tight corners and speed up the cable pulling process. Here are different ways in which pull tapes make cable pulling more efficient.

 

Enhanced Flexibility: The tapes are inherently made to be flexible. Without flexibility, the tapes will break when used to pull heavy cables. The combination of strength and flexibility makes the tapes perfect to guide cables through long and narrow conduits. Conduits often have tight nooks and corners that cannot be navigated without flexibility. 

 

Reduced Friction: Pulling cables through conduits is naturally going to generate friction. The constant pull and push of cables generate heat that can damage pull ropes with a rough surface. While cable lubricants are used to minimize friction, it is imperative to use pull tapes with smooth surfaces as well. AMAC Equipment Limited supplies smooth and strong tapes to pull cables.

 

Improved Safety: Pull tapes are easy to use and minimize workloads on workers, improving the overall safety at work sites. The ease of use drastically reduces the chances of accidents during cable pulling.
