How to Use a 1 Ton Cable Come-A-Long 144S-6:

Step 1: Inspect Before Use
Check cable, hooks, and latches for wear or damage.

Step 2: Set the Hooks
Anchor one hook to a stable point, attach the other to the load.

Step 3: Apply Tension
Operate the handle to ratchet the cable, using steady pressure with the 15:1 leverage ratio.

Step 4: Controlled Release
Use the “notch-at-a-time” letdown to safely release load tension.

Safe Operation and Best Practices

• Never exceed the 1-ton rating.
• Ensure anchor points are strong and stable.
• Keep hands clear of moving parts.
• Store the cable puller clean and dry to extend life.
• Ideal for stretching fence, equipment alignment, rigging, and utility work.

Pro Tip: Many contractors pair a come-a-long with wire grips when stretching chain link or tensioning cables. At ToolGuy, we carry heavy-duty grips similar to the well-known Milwaukee MAMA style wire grips, designed for reliability and long service life. Pairing the Maasdam puller with a set of wire grips gives you a secure way to hold and tension wire without slippage — a must-have for fencing crews.

Applications on the Jobsite

• Fence installation and tensioning
• Pulling and positioning equipment
• Straightening or adjusting steel and wood structures
• Farm and ranch utility tasks
• Maintenance and repair work
