Change Line Cable Grip for High-Tension Cable Pulling Applications
Posted by Paprsky Energy on 22nd Apr 2026
Introduction
Cable installation in industrial and utility environments requires tools capable of handling high tensile loads while maintaining cable integrity. In overhead transmission and underground duct installations, preventing slippage and minimizing insulation stress are critical for safe and efficient operations. The Change Line Cable Grip PS-RA Series is designed to provide secure cable engagement under high-load conditions.
What is a Change Line Cable Grip?
A Change Line Cable Grip is a mechanical pulling device used to hold and pull cables during installation, replacement, or maintenance operations. It consists of a braided mesh structure that contracts radially when tensile force is applied, creating a self-tightening grip on the cable surface.
This mechanism enables secure load transfer without the need for additional clamping components, making it suitable for controlled and repeatable cable pulling operations.
Product Information
The PS-RA Series is engineered for heavy-duty cable pulling across a wide range of industrial applications. It supports cable diameters from 13 mm to 130 mm, covering multiple cable types used in power and communication systems.
The grip is constructed from high-strength woven mesh, designed to distribute tensile forces uniformly along the cable surface. This reduces localized stress concentrations and helps protect cable insulation during operation.
The extended grip length improves contact area, enhancing stability and load distribution under high tension. The product is capable of handling breaking strengths of up to 88.2 kN, making it suitable for large-scale cable installations.
The PS-RA Series is available in multiple size ranges, including:
13–18 mm, 18–25 mm, 25–34 mm, 35–42 mm, 42–50 mm, 50–60 mm, 60–75 mm, 75–90 mm, 90–110 mm, and 110–130 mm.
This allows accurate selection based on cable diameter and load requirements.
Key Features

Industrial Applications
The PS-RA Series is used in power transmission projects for pulling and tensioning high-voltage cables over long distances. It is also applied in telecommunication installations, including fiber optic and copper cable deployment.
In underground cabling, the grip facilitates controlled pulling through ducts and conduits while maintaining cable protection. It is also used in line replacement operations, where existing cables are removed and new cables are installed.
The product is suitable for use by utility contractors, electrical engineers, and infrastructure development teams involved in large-scale cable installation and maintenance.
Performance Summary for High-Tension Cable Pulling Applications
The Change Line Cable Grip PS-RA Series provides high tensile capacity, consistent load distribution, and secure cable engagement for demanding pulling operations. Its braided mesh construction ensures stable grip performance while minimizing insulation stress, making it suitable for overhead, underground, and long-distance cable installations.
