Greenlee UT10 Ultra Tugger Cable Puller - Reconditioned - UT10-2

The Ultra Tugger 10,000-pound puller is a powerful and versatile tool designed for efficient electrical cable pulling. With two speed settings, the puller can easily shift from high to low speed using a simple double-tap motion on the foot pedal. The high-speed setting can pull up to 16 feet per minute for loads up to 4,000 pounds, while the low-speed setting can handle 8,000 pounds at a rate of 9 feet per minute. The Ultra Tugger's peak capacity reaches an impressive 10,000 pounds, pulling at a rate of 6 feet per minute.

This 115-volt puller is designed to work with a 7/8" diameter, double-braided, polyester composite rope with a minimum average breaking strength of 143 kN (32,000 lb). The puller assembly is specifically designed for electrical cable pulling applications and can operate continuously with loads up to 6,500 pounds (28.9 kN). For loads between 6,500 and 8,000 pounds (28.9-35.6 kN), the puller should be operated in cycles of 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off. The momentary peak capacity of 10,000 pounds (44.5 kN) should only be used for short durations. The Ultra Tugger 10,000-pound puller has a 20-amp rating and boasts a no-load low speed of 9 feet per minute.

What our Experts Think

Q&A

Q: What is the Greenlee 656 Ratchet Type Reel Stand used for?
A: A heavy-duty ratcheting wire reel stand designed to hold and dispense large wire or cable reels safely and efficiently on electrical and construction job sites.

Q: What is its main function?
A: It allows controlled payout of wire from spools while keeping reels elevated off the ground, reducing tangles, friction, and labor during cable pulling and installation.

Q: What reel sizes does it support?
A: Typically supports large industrial reels (up to several thousand pounds depending on configuration) and adjustable spindle width for different spool sizes.

Q: What makes the ratchet design important?
A: The ratcheting lift mechanism allows users to raise and lower reels easily for loading, positioning, and controlled wire dispensing without heavy lifting equipment.

Q: What is it made of?
A: Built with heavy-gauge welded steel construction, designed for rugged jobsite durability and long-term industrial use.

Q: How is it used on site?
A: Wire reels are mounted onto the spindle shafts, then the stand holds them securely while wire is pulled for conduit runs, panel wiring, or large installations.

Q: What are the key benefits?
A: Improves safety, reduces wire damage, enables smooth payout, and eliminates the need for makeshift reel supports or manual handling.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect frame and base before each use for cracks, bends, or instability
• Check ratchet mechanism for smooth operation and proper locking function
• Lubricate ratchet and pivot points lightly to ensure consistent movement
• Ensure spindle shafts are straight and free from wear or deformation
• Tighten all bolts, pins, and fasteners before loading cable reels
• Clean dirt, dust, and cable debris from moving parts regularly
• Verify reel is properly centered and securely seated before operation
• Do not exceed rated reel weight or load capacity
• Inspect welds and structural joints regularly, especially on reconditioned units
• Keep stand level on solid ground to prevent shifting during use
• Store in a dry environment to reduce rust and corrosion risk
• Check ratchet teeth for wear or damage before each job
