CableGlider Plus

Because you have reached the limit of the puller and the puller will not go any further. The anti rotational pawls hold the capstan in place and you may be stepping on the foot control until the chains snap. Release the rope at this point to release the tension, and this will keep the chains from snapping or skipping.

We recommend the Polywater Lubricant J when pulling power cables. It is a water based lubricant that dries slowly over time leaving a thin film of lubricant behind.

Yes, you can record a pull but only with the addition of the RLT (Running Line Tensiometer) to your Cablegliders arrangement.

Rope, manhole adapter, floor pole mount, elbow, tensiometer, extension frame, jamb skid, sheaves.

We recommend a minimum of 4000 watts to run the Standard Cableglider.

This will depend on what you are pulling and how far you are pulling it. The general formula for figuring this out is called the co-efficient of friction and appears in two different versions. The first, without lubricant: 2(lb/ft)× the length pulled (ft)×number of 90° bends×1(coef of friction)= (lbs) and one with lubricant: 2(lb/ft)× the length pulled (ft)×number of 90° bends×.35(coef of friction)= (lbs). Examples of these would be you are pulling 800ft with 3- 90° without lubricant: 2(lb/ft)×800(ft)×2×2×2 (3 90° bends)×1(coef of friction)= 12,800(lbs) and with lubricant: 2(lb/ft)×800(ft)×2×2×2 (3 90° bends)×.35(coef of friction)= 4480(lbs) (Note: the extreme drop in lbs by using lubricant). Once you have figured out the amount of pounds you need to pull you can select the rope. Condux sells 3 different weight ropes in three different lengths.
