    Abstract: A device for pulling a cable down the length of a cable tray including a trolley with rollers which rollingly grasp the upper side portion of the cable tray and allow the trolley to roll along the tray. The trolley includes a swivel cord grip which is releasably attached to one end of the cable, thus allowing the cable puller to pull the cable along the cable tray as the cable puller is propelled along the cable tray. The trolley can be pulled along manually by using one of two pull lines or ‘jet lines’ which are attached to the cable puller and lead to each end of the cable tray, or, more preferably, the trolley can be propelled up or down the cable tray by a remotely controlled motor which drives one or more of the rollers.
