AMAC Equipment Limited: Proud Suppliers of The Best Cable Lubricants

 

Why Lubricants Matter

The primary challenge associated with cable pulling is friction. Underground cables are pulled through conduits and ducts. This keeps them protected from the elements and ensures longevity. However, when pulled through the conduits with force, it is natural for friction to be generated. Unchecked friction leads to cable and conduit damage, both of which can be prevented with adequate lubrication. Say no to costly repairs and time-consuming reworks with cable lubricants from AMAC Equipment Limited.

 

 

Key Advantages of Cable Lubricants

 

Safety: It creates a safe, protective layer between the cable and the conduit, preventing overheating due to friction. 

 

Quick Turnaround Time: Say goodbye to snags in underground cable pulling! Lubricants create a slippery surface inside conduits, making it easier to pull cables across distances.

 

Cost-Effective: Less labour requirement + quicker completion + undamaged cables = cost-effective.

 

 

Choosing The Right Lubricant

Not all cables are the same. The cable requirements for electricity, telephone, and fiber optic internet are distinct. Similarly, the lubricants needed to pull them effectively also differ. Water-based and polymer lubricants are the most popular in Canada. Unsure which cable lubricant would work for you? Talk to an expert at AMAC Equipment Limited today.
