The Greenlee 640 Tugger® and 6001 Super Tugger® that
you already own can now attach to the same wheeled
carriage that the Ultra Tugger® cable puller uses.
The Ultra Tugger® 640/6001 Adapter Package comes
pre-assembled. All you need to do is add your cable
puller and you’ll be pulling cable faster and easier, with
no more anchors to set or chains to mount.
