Description
Ratchet puller
is a manual tool used to exert a pulling force. It typically consists of a handle, a ratchet mechanism, and a cable or chain. This mechanism allows for controlled and efficient pulling, making it ideal for various tasks.
How Does it Work?
By engaging the ratchet mechanism, you can pull the cable or chain in short, controlled increments. This provides greater control and precision compared to manual pulling. The load is gradually increased as you continue to pull, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
Types
- Cable Pullers: These use a steel cable for pulling and are commonly used in construction, automotive, and industrial settings.
- Chain Pullers: Similar to cable pullers but utilize a chain instead of a cable.
- Come-Along Pullers: A type of ratchet puller specifically designed for lifting and pulling heavy loads.
Common Uses
- Pulling heavy objects: Moving furniture, appliances, or equipment.
- Tensioning cables or wires: Setting up fences, guy wires, or electrical lines.
- Lifting loads: With appropriate attachments, ratchet pullers can be used for lifting tasks.
- Automotive repairs: Removing engine components or body panels.
- Construction: Pulling wires, pipes, or cables through conduits.
