The Yale Yaletrac ST is a portable, robust wire rope cable puller for pulling, lifting, lowering, tensioning and securing loads over long distances, engineered for demanding industrial environments including construction, civil engineering, power line installation, shipbuilding and oil refineries. Available in four ratings from 500 to 3200 daN pulling force, with rope-included and base-unit-only options. The deep-drawn steel plate housing delivers a compact, exceptionally robust design built to withstand demanding site conditions.
Key Features
- 500–3200 daN pulling force — Four ratings spanning light to heavy industrial pulling applications.
- Deep-drawn steel plate housing — Compact, dimensionally stable construction built for site conditions.
- Axial ball bearings — Reduce operator effort during sustained pulling tasks.
- Telescopic hand lever — Space-saving design with hook-and-pile attachment (Y 05 ST has short fixed handle).
- Built-in overload protection — Safeguard against operation beyond the rated pulling force.
- Stable upright positioning — Combined handle and foot allow secure vertical or horizontal use.
- Forward and reverse operation — Pull, lower or pay out under full control via dedicated levers.
- Service-free design — Minimal maintenance required for long operational life.

Y 05 ST features a short handle (not telescopic) — all other models include a space-saving telescopic hand lever attached via hook-and-pile fastener. Pulling force shown in kg (1 daN ≈ 1 kgf). Rope-included variants ship with matched wire rope; base-unit-only variants require a compatible wire rope to be ordered separately.
CE Marked | EN Lifting Standards | Service-Free Design
Supplied with a test certificate and EC Declaration of Conformity. CE marked to relevant EN standards for lifting accessories. LOLER 1998 thorough examinations required every 6 months by a competent person after initial certification. Design factor 4:1 unless otherwise specified.
Suitable Applications
Construction site rigging, civil engineering tensioning, overhead power line installation, shipbuilding and dockyard work, oil refinery maintenance, factory plant relocation, load securing during transport, and any operation requiring controlled pulling, lifting or tensioning over distance.
How to Use the Yaletrac ST Wire Rope Puller
- Inspect the puller before every use — housing, levers, rope guide, hooks and rope condition.
- Anchor the puller body securely to a fixed structural point using the attachment hook.
- Insert the wire rope through the rope guide and engage the clamping mechanism.
- Connect the rope end hook to the load.
- Operate the forward lever in repeated strokes to pull the load.
- Use the reverse lever to pay out rope or lower the load under control.
- Disengage the rope clamp via the release lever to remove the rope after use.
- Inspect and clean the puller before returning to storage.
Warning:
Do not extend the hand lever with cheater bars or pipe extensions — the lever length is calibrated to prevent overload. Never exceed the rated pulling force. Use only Yale-approved wire rope of the correct diameter. Inspect rope for damage before every use — kinked, frayed, or broken-strand rope must be withdrawn from service immediately.
Safety Information
- Never exceed the rated working load limit (WLL) displayed on the equipment.
- Never use the equipment if any component shows visible damage, wear or deformation.
- Keep all personnel clear of the lifted load at all times.
- Do not modify, repair or substitute components other than as specified by the manufacturer.
- Ensure the operator is trained, competent and authorised for the lifting operation.
- Do not shock load the equipment under any circumstances.
Inspection and Maintenance
Inspect before each use — focus on all load-bearing components, welds, hooks, safety latches, chain, rope and pendant controls. Thorough examination under LOLER 1998 is required at intervals not exceeding 6 months by a competent person. Replacement parts must be genuine manufacturer items to maintain certification. Records of all inspections must be retained for the life of the equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between Yaletrac ST and standard Yaletrac?
The ST features a deep-drawn steel plate housing for maximum durability and impact resistance. The standard Yaletrac (CPA02) features a lighter aluminium alloy housing. Choose ST for heavy site use, standard for weight-sensitive applications.
Q: Should I order the base unit or the with-rope variant?
If you already have a compatible Yale wire rope of the correct diameter, order base unit only. If you need a complete ready-to-use set, order the with-rope variant. The with-rope versions are typically more cost-effective than buying the parts separately.
Q: Can I use any wire rope with the Yaletrac ST?
No — use only Yale-supplied wire rope of the specified diameter for each model size. The clamping mechanism is calibrated to a specific rope diameter and surface condition. Using incorrect rope risks slippage or rope damage under load.
Q: What is the spare wire rope item (192043683)?
192043683 is a replacement 6mm wire rope for the Y 05 ST model. Order this if your existing rope is damaged or worn beyond service limits.
