Zinc plated steel |

 |
Steel is an alloy created by adding carbon to iron, and is used for its strength, which is given by its alloy elements.
Zinc plating acts as a barrier which prevents corrosion and rusting. Cable pullers are made from zinc plated steel because it is durable, so they are able to withstand wear. |

Drop forged steel |

 |
Some cable pullers have parts that are made of ‘drop forged steel’. Drop forging is the process where a hammer is raised then ‘dropped’ onto the workpiece to deform it into the required shape/form, either by hand or machine.
Drop forged steel provides cable pullers with high strength. |
