A cable puller includes a frame, a capstan mounted on the frame around which a pulling rope is wrapped, and a sensor configured to measure the distance the pulling rope travels relative to the frame. The sensor may be a Hall effect sensor and/or an optical sensor.

Cable puller having sensor measuring pulling rope travel distance

A cable puller is provided to pull rope or cable where the cable puller includes a puller frame, a capstan rotatably mounted on the puller frame around a first axis of rotation, an output shaft rotatably mounted to the puller frame and coupled to the capstan, The capstan is configured to rotate when the output shaft is driven. A shift motor is configured to drive a cam to engage gearing coupled to the output shaft to a gear position comprising a low speed position, a medium speed position, and a high-speed position.

High capacity cable puller with multi-speed automatic shifting transmission

A combination includes a cable puller having a capstan around which a pulling rope is wrapped, and a sensor configured to measure the distance the pulling rope travels during a pulling operation. The sensor may be a Hall effect sensor and/or an optical sensor.

A system and method include a gauge device and one or more of a communication device or a pulling assembly. The gauge device may be configured to send a message to display on one or more of the communication device or pulling assembly. Additionally or alternatively, the gauge device may be configured to send the message to be processed by pulling assembly to determine and perform a pull action. Additionally or alternatively, the gauge device may be configured to send the message to be executed by the pulling assembly to perform a pull action.

Pulley assembly with gauge device and communication environment for messaging

A gauge device according to some embodiments of the disclosure is configured to measure tension on a pulling rope during a cable pull. The gauge device according to some embodiments of the disclosure includes a frame, a housing carried by the frame, a roller rotatably carried by the housing, a sensor on the frame beneath the housing, and at least one additional roller rotatably attached to the frame. The housing is configured to translate linearly relative to the frame, such that when the housing moves relative to the frame, the housing is configured to engage with the sensor to activate the sensor.
