If you didn’t do the pipe install run a chase through it first.  On Aug 27, 2025, at 9:31 AM, Michael Morningstar via RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote:  Proper reel stands Proper reel spindles Proper pull rope  Properly sized tugger Machine with lifting slings to place reels on stands Rent a Cable feeder (pulling 750s on 500' reels manually isn't reasonable) Radio person on each end to ensure tugger loses power if something goes wrong on the feeding end On Wed, Aug 27, 2025 at 8:16 AM david quattro via RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: Hi everyone, I have a wire pull coming up where each 4" conduit will have (2) 750 kcmil aluminum plus (2) 3/0 aluminum. I think this pull will proceed just like previous similar wire pulls, but I want to see if there are important tricks/details I should know about 750 kcmil size. I plan to rent the biggest tugger available and to have a bucket of lube stationed at the pipe entrance. We already ran mandrels through all conduits. The longest pull is about 500 ft. Thanks!
