Cable pulling certainly isn’t an easy job.
It can be incredibly tricky, pitted with many different obstacles, not to mention physically demanding. Which is why, to maximise the efficiency of each job – and prevent it from being (literally) pulled in the wrong direction – it’s crucial to have the correct equipment.
Here at RopesDirect, we’ve got one of the most important items on your shopping list. Draw rope. And we’re regarded as one of the UK’s most trusted suppliers, particularly for the telecommunications and cabling industry. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider buying your essential cable pulling cord from us.
4 reasons to rely on us for pulling cord
1. Choice
We’re home to one of the largest online collections of draw cord and sub duct rope.
Currently, we stock:
Available in 6mm – 14mm diameters. Blue rope is well-known for its strength and durability and is incredibly user-friendly, making it an enduringly popular choice for cable pulling.
A fantastic, highly recommended alternative to blue polypropylene. Orange duct rope has a polyester core, covered with high-density polyethylene. And as such, is incredibly strong. It also runs smoothly (due to its waxy feel) and resists chemicals well. Our 6.9mm width comes on a 500m reel and we also have 6mm orange HDPE on 1450m spools.
This is a higher-strength option, made from the world’s strongest ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. As a result, it’s ideal for particularly heavy-duty applications.
In addition, we stock a range of regular HMPE, which can also be successfully used as pulling cord.
With so many options to choose from, whatever your requirements, we’re sure you’ll find a draw cord in our range that fits your job. These are all perfect for pulling cables and wiring through ducts and, no matter which product you select, you can expect the highest quality and excellent value for money.
2. Flexibility
All of our draw ropes are sold on generously sized reels, ranging from 450-1020m in length (depending on the product chosen). But if you need a larger quantity, be sure to give us a call.
As a friendly family business, providing an excellent level of customer service is incredibly important to us. If necessary, we can supply much longer reels of pulling cord – and we’ll do everything we can to accommodate your specific cable pulling requirements.
3. Stock
‘Out of stock’ simply aren’t words in our dictionary.
We aim to keep our warehouse fully stocked at all times throughout the entire year. Which means all of the products listed in our duct rope collection are readily available for you to purchase.
Our goal is to operate a very quick turnaround and, providing it’s placed before 12pm, we endeavour to despatch your order the same day. Again, that’s just part of our superb customer service. If you live in the UK, in most cases, you can expect to receive your new pulling cord the next working day.
4. Price
Despite their exceptional quality, our products are astonishingly affordable.
RopesDirect is an exclusively online rope stockist. Which means, we’re able to save a great deal on overheads – and we can pass those savings on to you. Our standard draw cord reels are priced very competitively, ranging from just £36.90 to £507.60 depending on the type and quantity needed (as of January 2023).
Increasing your ‘value for money’ even further, discounts are also available on bulk orders – whereby, the more you buy, the less each individual reel will cost. And if you require a bespoke length, we’ll calculate the cost accordingly and provide a fair, bespoke quote for your order.
