A cable sock, sometimes called a pulling sock or mesh grip, is a woven steel mesh device designed to grip cables, conduits, and pipes during installation.
As tension increases, the grip tightens around the cable, providing a secure pulling connection.
Cable socks are widely used for:
When selecting a cable sock, consider:
The sock must match the diameter range of the cable or pipe.
Heavier installations require stronger mesh construction and higher load ratings.
Long pulls, bends, and challenging ground conditions may require specialised cable socks.

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) has become one of the most efficient methods for installing underground utilities with minimal surface disruption. Whether you’re installing water pipelines, electrical conduits, communications infrastructure, or gas services, a reliable towing head is an essential part of the pipe pullback process.
Installing underground conduit requires reliable equipment that can withstand significant pulling forces. Screw-in duct pullers provide a fast and effective method for pulling conduit and ducting through underground installations.
Pipe pullback is one of the most critical stages of any HDD project. When problems occur during pullback, delays, equipment damage, and costly rework can follow.
Here are five common causes of pullback failure.
