Cable Pulling Sock in Jeddah is a cable installation accessory used to grip and pull suitable electrical cables, wires and similar lines during controlled installation work. The Cable Pulling Sock – Type K I uses a flexible double-braided steel mesh that grips the cable while a pressed loop provides the pulling connection.
Nassguard supplies Cable Pulling Socks in Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, Jubail and Al Khobar, with supply available across Saudi Arabia.
A Cable Pulling Sock, also called a cable grip, cable pulling grip, wire pulling sock or wire mesh cable grip, is designed to provide a temporary gripping connection around a cable during installation.
The Type K I design has a double braid, one side open and the other side fitted with a pressed-on loop. The mesh uses steel strands with a 1 × 19 material strand construction. Steel strands provide high tensile forces and good wear characteristics for suitable pulling applications.
The grip slides over the cable and tightens around it when pulling force is applied. This creates a distributed grip instead of requiring workers to attach a pulling rope directly to the cable itself.
The Type K I range is available in galvanized steel and stainless steel configurations. The available variants cover different cable working diameters, overall lengths and permissible tensile forces.
Correct selection matters. The cable diameter must fall within the grip’s specified working range, while the pulling force must remain within the documented permissible tensile force.
Electrical Cable Installation: Cable pulling socks can help installation teams pull suitable electrical cables through prepared routes, ducts and cable pathways.
Underground Cable Work: Contractors can use suitable cable grips during underground cable installation where the cable and pulling arrangement meet the product requirements.
Cable Duct Installation: The grip can provide a pulling connection when cables need to pass through ducts or conduits.
Industrial Electrical Projects: Electrical contractors can use cable pulling grips during installation work in industrial facilities, workshops and plants.
Power Distribution Work: Suitable cable grips can support controlled cable installation during power distribution projects.
Building Electrical Installation: Installation teams can use cable pulling socks when routing suitable cables through prepared building pathways.
Telecommunication Infrastructure: Depending on the cable type and product configuration, suitable pulling grips can support controlled installation of cables used in communication infrastructure.
Cable Replacement Work: Maintenance teams can use suitable grips when replacing existing cables, provided the cable diameter, pulling force and installation conditions match the grip specifications.
Nassguard supplies Cable Pulling Socks in Jeddah and Riyadh for suitable electrical installation work. Contractors in Dammam and Jubail can use appropriate cable grips for industrial and infrastructure projects. The product is also supplied in Al Khobar and across Saudi Arabia.
A cable pulling sock provides a practical way to connect a pulling rope or winch line to a cable without relying on a simple tied connection.
The double-braided steel mesh distributes the gripping action around the cable. As pulling tension increases, the mesh grips the cable more firmly. This design makes the product useful for controlled cable installation where the cable diameter falls within the specified range.
The pressed loop provides a convenient connection point for suitable pulling equipment. Workers can connect the pulling arrangement to the loop and guide the cable through the prepared route.
The product range also provides flexibility in selection. Depending on the required cable diameter and pulling force, users can choose from different configurations. The manufacturer lists working diameters ranging from approximately 6 mm to 170 mm across the Type K I variants, with permissible tensile forces depending on the selected configuration.
The stainless-steel versions can also be useful where the selected installation conditions call for stainless-steel construction. The exact material and operating-temperature rating depend on the selected variant. For example, one stainless-steel Type K I configuration lists an operating range of -40°C to 150°C, while a galvanized-steel configuration lists -40°C to 100°C.
| Material | Working Diameter | Overall Length | Permissible Tensile Force |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless steel | 15 mm | 800 mm | 4.30 kN |
| Stainless steel | 20 mm | 900 mm | 5.00 kN |
| Galvanized steel | 50 mm | 1,450 mm | 23.20 kN |
| Galvanized steel | 70 mm | 1,650 mm | 28.60 kN |
| Stainless steel | 130 mm | 1,850 mm | 51.00 kN |
| Stainless steel | 200 mm | 2,050 mm | 74.80 kN |
Before using a Cable Pulling Sock, workers should measure the cable diameter and compare it with the grip’s minimum and maximum working diameter.
The pulling force should remain within the stated permissible tensile force. Workers should also check the cable condition, grip condition and pulling route before starting the operation.
Inspect the steel mesh, pressed loop and connection point for broken strands, deformation, corrosion or other visible damage. A damaged grip should not be used for cable pulling.
The grip should also remain properly positioned on the cable during the pulling operation. Sudden loading or excessive pulling force can create additional stress, so the installation team should use suitable pulling equipment and follow the approved installation procedure.
1. What is a Cable Pulling Sock used for?
A Cable Pulling Sock is used to provide a gripping connection for suitable cables during controlled pulling and installation work.
2. What is the difference between a cable pulling sock and a cable grip?
They are commonly used as alternative names for a wire-mesh gripping device. Cable pulling sock, cable grip and wire pulling sock can describe similar cable installation products.
3. What material is used in Type K I Cable Pulling Socks?
The Type K I range is available in galvanized steel and stainless steel, with steel strand construction.
4. What cable diameters can Type K I accommodate?
The available variants cover different working diameters, ranging from approximately 6 mm to 170 mm across the listed configurations. The exact range depends on the selected variant.
5. How much pulling force can the cable grip handle?
The permissible tensile force depends on the selected variant. Listed Type K I configurations range from a few kN to more than 70 kN. Users must check the rating of the exact grip before pulling.
6. Can Cable Pulling Socks be used for underground cable installation?
Yes. Suitable cable grips can be used for underground and duct cable installation when the cable, grip and pulling arrangement meet the specified requirements.
