What type of pulling gear would be best suited for installations under high tension?

For installations under high tension, crimp on pulling eyes is the most suitable choice because they provide a secure and robust connection to the cable. These eyes are designed to withstand high stress and tension during the pulling process, ensuring that the cable remains intact and does not disconnect or become damaged while being pulled through conduits or other tight spaces.

Crimp on pulling eyes also allow for better weight distribution along the cable, minimizing the risk of wear and tear at any specific point. This is essential when dealing with high tension, as improper connections could lead to premature failure or accidents during the installation process.

In contrast, the other options may not provide the same level of security or strength. Mesh grips, while useful for certain cable types, may not be designed for high tension scenarios. Pulling hooks can be beneficial for positioning but might not be able to handle the increased strain effectively. Quadrant blocks, used for redirecting force, often do not provide a direct connection to the cable and can introduce additional variables in a high-tension environment. Thus, crimp on pulling eyes are the preferred choice for ensuring safety and efficiency during high tension installations.
