Our network of suppliers offers two main options to suit various project sizes and complexities: Cable Rollers and Capstan Winches. Let’s take a look at how they differ in functionality and which equipment you should consider.
| Cable Hauling Equipment | Pros | Cons | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cable Rollers | Simple to use; cost-effective; reduces cable friction and protects cables during installation. | Limited to simpler, less demanding setups; not suitable for very long or heavy cable runs. | Short to medium runs in controlled environments; urban and indoor installations. |
| Capstan Winches | Powerful; can handle long and heavy cable pulls; offers precise control over cable tension. | More expensive; requires trained operator; larger physical footprint. | Long distance pulls, outdoor and industrial settings, or where precise tension control is critical. |
