Gatlinburg View From SkyBridge by Lutfi Shedraway
Via Flickr:
My family and I spent few days in Gatlinburg. We used a beautiful Airbnb wooden cabin that was an amazing cabin. We sprinted each day toward a destination where we did some hiking and sightseeing. I took my portable Limux camera and my IR camera for this occasion. While I was taking memory photos from my phone and the girls from their phones, I took the opportunity to capture photos scenic areas with my Limux camera and IR Camera. This site is Skybridge and is located at the top of the iconic SkyLift, 1,800 feet above sea level. The Gatlinburg SkyBridge is the longest pedestrian cable bridge in North America and the most unique experience in the Smokies. From the mountain-top SkyDeck, the SkyBridge stretches almost 700 feet across a deep valley in a single span.... that's longer than 2 football fields! One needs to be sure to look down midway on the SkyBridge. With 30 feet of glass and a height of 500 feet above Gatlinburg, the SkyBridge is an incredible, and easily attainable, experience I will remember as one unique experience. I am glad my oldest daughter suggested this place. At first I was skeptical if I will enjoy it but being there and doing everyday hiking and sighseeing, it was an experience to remember.

The extraordinary and somewhat scary Gubbio "cable-car" or funivia which takes passengers up and down the mountain above the town
"Cable-car" is a rather grand description for what is more like a ride in half a bird cage. It was built over 60 years ago and each "bird-cage" holds a maximum of two people

Just how Important is a Cable Puller?
In a factory setting where lots of lifting will occur, it is important to invest in the necessary equipment in order to maximise workflow. One of the ways in which you can optimise your factory's efficiency is through investing in cable pullers.
What is a Cable Puller?
A cable puller, also known as a wire puller, is a tool used to install cables, wires, or ropes through conduits, ducts, or over long distances in various projects. They come in several forms:
[1] Manual Cable Pullers: These are operated by hand, often using a rachet mechanism. These are suitable for smaller jobs and lighter cables.
[2] Hydraulic Cable Pullers: These use hydraulic power to pull cables, providing greater force and control, which make them suited for heavy-duty jobs.
[3] Electric Cable Pullers: These are powered by electric motors, ideal for continuous and heavy-duty use, as they offer significant power and efficiency.
What Are They Made out of?
They usually have a steel or aluminium frame due to their heigh strength-to-weight ratio. They will alsousually have rubber handles, steel cables, and alloy steel attatchments.
Why Are They Important?
Cable pullers offer numerous benefits for businesses, such as efficiency, safety, and precision. Here are the benefits that make cable pullers important:
[1] Efficiency: They save time by speeding up the process of installing cables, leading to faster completion. They also reduce the need for manual labour, demanding less physicality from workers.
[2] Safety: Cable pullers also reduce the risk of injury caused by mannual lifting, such as strains and sprains.
[3] Precision: They allow for precise control over the tension and speed of the cable being pulled, ensuring accuracy and carefulness.
[4] Versatility: They can be used in a variety of applications, from electrical wiring to telecommunications/data cabling. They can also accomodate various sizes of cables, mking them versatile for many cable lifting tasks.
[5] Consistency: Cable pullers provide consistent pulling force, ensuring uniform installation quality across different sections of the project.
[Bonus] Cost-Effectiveness: They also help reduce the need for extensive labour, lowering overall costs on projects.
