[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 369917, member: 1408"] Anyone use a Turfer (My spelling ?) for pulling armoureds in ? A large metal cased , ratcheting device that pulled a steel wire rope through itself with a cable attatched , say 20m away . Had to attatch it to a stanchion or whatever. It seemed to be there were one of two methods for pulling armoured in . One was to throw lots of blokes at the job and one with a loud voice shouting ...Aaaaaye.....Yupppp! to co-ordinate everyone to pull at the same time . The Turfer was much less labour but if possible , set the Turfer up at the correct point in the route after fitting temporary rollers at various points , fit sock to cable , attatch cable to wire rope and start apprentices off ratcheting it in . I think it moved about 8inches on each pull . We pulled some fairly big 'uns in with just a sparks & 2 apprentii . [/QUOTE]
