Abstract:
A cable puller and associated methods are shown. Useful example methods include pipe bursting using cable pullers as shown. Cable pullers and methods shown provide a mechanical advantage that increases an amount of cable pulled in one cycle. Selected examples are shown that include a pulley located on a distal end of a moving portion of an extending and contracting beam. The pulley and the mechanical advantage it supplies helps to improve the efficiency of the cable puller and reduce manufacturing cost of the cable puller.

Claim (Index 1):
A cable puller, comprising:\n an extending and contracting beam including a first end portion and a second end portion; a pulley attached at a distal end of the first end portion; and a single cyclic cable gripper including two gripping jaws, the single cyclic cable gripper attached to the second end portion, wherein the single cyclic cable gripper is configured to pull a cable through a length of pipe by gripping the cable with the gripping jaws on a beam extension, and releasing the cable on a beam contraction.
