Dan Smelter, senior product manager, Gardner Bender, said that two-speed power cable pullers have become increasingly popular because one machine can provide both high and low pulling-load capabilities.

“Gardner Bender offers an 8,000-pound puller with 25 pulling configurations and a 10,000-pound model, providing exceptional mobility and rapid setup and teardown,” Smelter said. “All our cable pullers have a non-reversing planetary gear motor for smooth, consistent pulling. "

“Power fishing systems are used to blow the initial pull line and/or conduit measuring tape via a line carrier through the raceway with forced air. Conventional systems are based on 115V [volt] blower/vacuum systems. We offer an innovative power fishing system powered by carbon dioxide, which can be operated when electrical power is not available,” Smelter said.
