Southwire SIMPull Truck

Green Mountain Electric Supply along with Southwire and Yusen Associates recently worked on a project with Benoit Electric. This project involved a solution that saved the customer numerous hours of labor. They were able to complete all 54 pulls in 2 hours, normally taking 10 people and 3 to 3-1/2 weeks to complete. Read below to learn more about the process.

The basic concept is parallel wire runs stacked on reels which are then mounted in an A-frame and shipped via flatbed tractor trailer direct to the job site. Once on site you unlock the reels and pull direct from the truck. In this case the job site required we remove (3) of the A-frames and transport them to the other side of the building where there was a second crew of men. Each reel is custom labeled with what parallels are on it and the truck is loaded per our requirements for the specific job site. In this case we opted for all cables to be provided with factory attached pulling heads to ensure we could move from one pull to the next with very limited down time. We had up to (8) parallel runs of 750XHHW aluminum on some reels. At the end of the pulls the truck drives off with the A-frames and reels leaving only very little shrink wrap waste to dispose of on site.

In total we had 19,800’ of 750XHHW with 216 cut lengths put into (54) parallels stacked on (11) separate reels and A-frames.
