The Heavy Duty Banding Tool allows you to easily tighten and secure any length band loop. Perfect for use with concrete utility poles. The extra width of this band provides stronger tensile strength than the ¾” band as well as a wider holding surface. Useful in many application environments including Utility, Marine and manufacturing where securely attaching cables, hoses or tubes onto a cylindrical object is needed. 100 ft. band roll comes in easy to stack and store cardboard box. Giant buckles are made of 304 Stainless Steel and designed for use with 1 ¼” wide bands.

Distribution Blocks & Accessories

Catch Block

A Type - High Strength Cable Grips

The strongest grip we produce; can be used for metal wire and synthetic rope pulls. Perfect for overhead transmission and distribution line pulling or any applications with heavy load ratings, e.g. gas, electric railroad, rigging lines and construction pulls. When pulling synthetic rope use a Slingco Feed Tube to make rope insertion a breeze. To avoid the effects of torsion a line pulling swivel that rotates under load should be used. Galvanized Steel and color coded for ease of identification. High strength A-Type grips recommended when pulling guy or static wire.

MU Type – High Strength Cable Grips

This grip’s mulit-weave construction (triple, double, single) is ideal for heavy loads. MU cable grips are color coded for ease of identification. Perfect for stringing overhead transmission and distribution lines and heavy-load pulls of any kind. Use with bare or insulated cable, conductor or wire. The flexible eye connects with Slingco line pulling swivels for trouble free pulling applications. Made of Galvanized Steel. Note: Not recommended for pulling static or guy wire. Use High Strength ‘A-Type’ grip when pulling static or guy wire.

Line Pulling Swivel - Galvanized

Slingco Line Swivels are designed to the highest specifications for underground and overhead pulling applications. All swivels are stringently quality tested and inspected to ensure optimum reliability and performance.

Line Pulling Swivels - High Load

Slingco’s High Load Line Pulling Swivels are engineered for the growing demands of modern transmission and reconductoring projects. These swivels are engineered for high-tension transmission and distribution pulling applications where higher working loads and dependable performance are critical. Designed to release torsion during pulling operations, these swivels help reduce strain on conductors, grips, and pulling equipment for safer, more efficient installations. Suitable for overhead and underground applications, every swivel is quality tested and inspected to deliver dependable performance in demanding field conditions.

Line Pulling Swivel - Bright Zinc Plated Steel

Swivels designed for use in stringing high tension wires for electrical transmission and distribution. Swivels are important in pulling when the lines develop torsion during installation. Swivels will release torque and prevent it from reaching dangerous levels, which can cause damage to the cable. All swivels are stringently quality tested and inspected to ensure optimum performance and reliability.

HDD Swivels

Slingco Directional Drilling Swivels are designed for horizontal directional drilling or underground cable installation only. Use to counter rotational forces caused by boring. They are able to be greased for removal of dirt and contaminants.

Stringing Block - Flip Gate

Used in conjunction with purpose-designed accessories Slingco 7" distribution stringing blocks have proven extremely popular with utility operators and contractors for their exceptional versatility in terms of installation applications and locations. Their low-friction bearings deliver high efficiency, which helps to maximise stringing distances while minimising pulling tensions and reducing loads on stringing equipment. We also offer three crossarm bracket options and various ball clevis attachments.

Stringing Block - Spring Gate

The ZAB4344 is our spring gate 7” aluminum distribution stringing block. This block is used for the transfer or replacement of aerial conductors. Its low friction bearings deliver high efficiency, which helps to maximise stringing distances whilst minimising pulling tensions and reducing the load on stringing equipment. The gate has been designed for use with hot stick and/or hand operation and can be locked in the open position to allow the linesman to freely remove the conductor. Once the gate is released, the gate closes and locks automatically. The ZAB4344 has three mounting positions and is compatible with Slingco’s crossarm bracket options and ball clevis attachments.
