Why Choose Slingco Cable Pulling Heads?

Heavy-Duty Engineering
Designed for subsea cable pull-ins and high-tension onshore installations. Withstands rugged conditions including marine environments, trench pulls, and offshore wind cable installations.

Maintains Cable Alignment
Precision design helps keep cables straight and tensioned during seabed laying or ducting—crucial for large, sensitive, or armored cables.

Damage-Free Pulling Process
Internally machined to prevent crushing or straining cables, reducing installation risk and extending cable lifespan.

Optimised Grip & Load Handling
Built to handle high break loads and maintain grip over long pulls, even in wet or submerged conditions.

Rotating Eye Options
Many models feature rotating eye ends for easier swivel connection (note: not load-bearing under tension).


Ideal Applications

Slingco pulling heads are engineered for:

  • Subsea cable pull-ins

  • Offshore wind turbine installations

  • Heavy industrial electrical cable pulls

  • Underground conduit cable installations

  • Rail and infrastructure cabling


⚠️ Sizing Guidance & Safety Information

  • Overlapping Range?
    If your cable diameter falls between two size ranges, always select based on required break load. If both options meet load needs, choose the smaller grip for a tighter hold.

  • Custom Dimensions Available:
    Contact us for a fully dimensioned datasheet with exact tolerances (typically ±5%).

  • Use with Swivels Recommended:
    Though some pulling heads include rotating eyes, they do not rotate under load. For tensioned applications, always use with a suitable line swivel.
