TANDEM PULLING
If the amount of pulling force required to make a pull exceeds the load rating
for a single cable puller, two cable pullers may be used in tandem to make the
pull. See Figure 9 below. Be sure to use a separate rope and set of accessories
for each cable puller. Each set of rope and accessories should meet or exceed
each cable pullers maximum pulling force.
