Why use a cable puller?
There are a number of challenges which come with handling wire rope cables manually, whether for lifting kit, securing loads in place or pulling heavy objects into position. These
pullers are commonly used by arborists, vehicle recovery services and
many more.If you want to lessen the physical effort and strain of such tasks, a cable puller can be a worthy ally. All Cable pullers come with a stated safe working load, however by using the sheave block technique it is possible to increase this if done correctly. 
Unlike other winches we stock, a cable puller will be compact and easy to transport in comparison. Our high quality models are also straightforward to maintain and represent a cost-effective investment for a variety of commercial users.
