Cable Grips

The biggest problem you can encounter is that the cable is too short, or that the cable breaks because the maximum pulling weight is exceeded. These are problems that can be prevented with good preparation by anticipating the challenges that the practical field of work entails in advance. Everything that deviates from a straight line presents its challenges. In practice, when installing cables, we have to deal with differences in level, bends and curves that all cause friction. You want to do everything you can to reduce the friction coefficient. There are various tools that can be used for this, such as cable and angle rollers that ensure that the trench, the slot, is as sloping as possible to keep the friction during cable installation as low as possible. Support software such as the Jetplanner can help with this. With the Jetplanner, you simulate the installation of cables and pipes and you can take into account all the physical environmental factors that you will be confronted with on site in advance. This way you can determine in advance what you need to take into account and which resources need to be used to ensure a problem-free installation.

Bagela is well-known and has been supplying good quality cable winches for many years. Jacob Thaler, which like Bagela is located near Hamburg, has been around for 60 years this year and is known for the high (made in Germany) quality of their products. In terms of quality, there is no difference between the two companies.

The choice of cable winch depends on the work. If you are pulling through a trench, cable rollers and corner rollers and, where necessary, cable pushers can ensure that the friction on the cable is reduced and you may be able to use a smaller, and therefore cheaper, cable winch. If you are pulling through a borehole, a cable lubricant product will ensure that the friction can be reduced, which also determines the choice of cable winch. With support software such as the Jetplanner, you can simulate the installation of cables and pipes in advance and gain insight into which environmental factors you need to take into account and which tools need to be used to achieve a problem-free installation. The more we know about your specific situation and work, the better and more detailed we can assist you with both the winch choice and the cable lengths.
