STRAND PULLERS
These forged steel units are used when pulling or tensioning suspension strand. The KleinTools® L, H, and B Strand Pullers feature a fixed and movable jaw linked to a clevis. Applying pull to the clevis causes the jaw in turn to grip the strand.
The Type B Strand Puller (P/N 68490) is designed for tensioning figure-8 cable on 1/4 in. (6-7mm) poly jacketed strand, and designed for pulling loads up to 5000 lbs. (2268kg)
- Works on strand from .20 to .37 in. (5 – 9.4mm)
- Serpentine grooves grip insulation on strand, preventing slippage
A safety chain permanently secured to a shackle acts as a safety tether in the event the grip disengages
The Model H Strand Puller (P/N 68491) is designed for tensioning strand sizes from 5/16 in. through 5/8 in. (9.5-12.7mm) and for pulling loads that exceed 5000 lbs. but not more than 15,000 lbs. (6818 kg)
- Works on strand from .31 to .62 in. (7.8 – 15.7mm)
- A safety chain permanently secured to a shackle acts as a safety tether in the event the grip disengages
The Model L Strand Puller (P/N 68492) is designed for tensioning strand sizes from 3/16 in. through 17/32 in. (4.7-13.5mm) and for pulling loads up to 8000 lbs. (3636kg)
- Works on strand from .22 to .55 in. (5.6 – 14mm)
- A safety chain permanently secured to a shackle acts as a safety tether in the event the grip disengages
NOTE: The gripping power of the strand pullers is greatly reduced if either the top or bottom groove of the jaw, or the strand itself, is coated with oil, grease, or paraffin. Follow proper cleaning procedures to remove debris accumulation in the grip of the puller.
