Save Valuable Time With This Wire Pulling Cheat Code

Watch our side-by-side comparison of using pre-installed wire pulling heads vs. creating pulling heads in the field

Do you ever wish installing wire and cable was like a video game where you could enter a cheat code to make it easier? Well, ordering your wire with factory-installed pulling heads is basically a cheat code for completing wire pulls sooner and reducing injuries on the jobsite. Want to see how much time you can save? Watch the side-by-side comparison and read about the benefits of pre-installed wire pulling heads below.

BENEFITS OF PRE-INSTALLED WIRE PULLING HEADS

No Knives Needed:  Hand lacerations from knives are one of the most common jobsite injuries. A National Institutes of Health study found that knife-related injuries happened an average of 1,190 times per day in the United States. Workers use knives to strip wire when they’re creating wire pulling heads in the field. When you order your wire with factory-installed pulling heads, you can say goodbye to knives and reduce the risk of injury.

Less Installation Time:  Ordering pre-installed pulling heads is not only safer. It can save you a lot of time on each wire pull. Measuring, stripping wire, splicing cables and connecting to your wire pull rope takes a considerable amount of time. With pre-installed pulling heads, it is simply a matter of connecting the pulling head to the swivel clevis or soft shackle of your pull rope. While saving 20 minutes of time might not seem like a big deal, the time savings add up quickly over the course of an entire project.

More Efficient Labor:  While one person is taking 20+ minutes to create a wire pulling head in the field, there are usually two or three others waiting for him to get done, so they can help with pulling wire. With pre-installed pulling heads, there’s no waiting around, and your workers can be more productive during their time on the jobsite.

Peace of Mind:  In addition to safety and efficiency, pre-installed pulling heads are more reliable and secure your investment in parts and labor. Everyone who installs pulling heads at Van Meter is factory trained and certified by Southwire. The pulling heads are under warranty, so if a pulling head fails, Southwire will pay you for the replacement wire and the labor of pulling the wire out and back in.
