Greenlee Textron Product Manager Jim Eisele discusses safe cable pulling practices.

Calconduit Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) provides superior wire and cable protection in a variety of applications and environments. Due to its lightweight material, our thin-walled conduit allows for easy installation and field bending, resulting in reduced labor costs. All Calconduit EMT products undergo a series of QA/QC procedures, ensuring quality performance with smooth and problem-free pulling.

Safely and efficiently pull heavy loads up to 6,000 pounds at faster speeds, reducing downtime. Whether pulling rope or cable, the G6 Turbo™ achieves the fastest pull time. No loose pieces, allows quick changeover for easy transport. Patent-pending adjustable clamp secures conduit in seconds without any adapters. Setup in less than 60 seconds. Hands down faster. Period.

According to both NEC® 400.10 and OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1926.405, strain relief must be provided for flexible cords or cables. This is necessary to prevent pulling forces from straining joints, such as wire nuts and crimp fittings, and terminal screws. This prevents conductors from separating and causing damage or shorts to the circuit.
