Ground Support Roller for OHTL Conductor & Earthwire Protection

Ground Support Roller: Essential Protection for Conductors & Earthwires During Overhead transmission line (OHTL) Stringing

At Ningbo Changshi Electric Power Machinery Manufacturing Limited, we are acutely aware that the integrity of conductors and earthwires is paramount, not just during their operational life, but critically during the installation phase. Our Ground Support Roller is a vital, meticulously engineered tool designed to protect valuable conductors and earthwires from scuffing, abrasion, and damage when they are laid on or pulled along the ground prior to being lifted into their final position. As a prominent China manufacturer and exporter, we offer a comprehensive one-stop supply for a wide array of tools and equipment for power lines, and this support roller exemplifies our unwavering commitment to practical utility, robust design, and reliable performance for safeguarding your critical assets on OHTL projects.

During the tension stringing process, especially on uneven terrain, conductors and ground wires are often temporarily in contact with the ground or other abrasive surfaces. Dragging them directly can lead to costly damage, affecting their performance and lifespan. Our Ground Support Roller creates a smooth, elevated pathway, lifting the wire off the abrasive ground and allowing it to roll freely. This significantly reduces friction, prevents scuffing, and minimizes the risk of material degradation, ensuring that your valuable conductors and earthwires are installed in pristine condition.

Product Features & Benefits:

• Conductor & Earthwire Protection: Specifically designed to elevate and guide conductors and earthwires off the ground, preventing direct contact with abrasive surfaces like soil, rocks, concrete, or debris, thereby eliminating scuffing and damage.

• Smooth Rolling Action: Equipped with a low-friction roller mechanism (often with a durable plastic or aluminum sheave) that allows the wire to pass smoothly and easily, reducing pulling tension and preventing snags.

• Robust & Stable Design: Constructed from durable steel frames, ensuring stability and strength to support the weight and tension of the conductor/earthwire, even on uneven terrain.

• Easy Deployment & Relocation: Designed for quick setup and easy relocation along the stringing path, adapting to varying terrain and project requirements.

• Versatile Groove Profile: Features a universal groove designed to accommodate a wide range of conductor and earthwire diameters, ensuring broad applicability.

• Corrosion Resistance: Frame components are typically hot-dip galvanized or treated with durable powder coating, providing excellent protection against rust and environmental degradation for long service life.

• Prevents Costly Damage: By safeguarding the outer layers of the conductor and earthwire, it prevents micro-abrasions that could lead to long-term performance issues or premature failure.

Product Applications:

Our Ground Support Roller is an indispensable tool for a wide range of overhead transmission line projects, particularly where conductors or earthwires are handled at ground level:

• Initial Conductor Laying: Used to support and guide conductors as they are unreeled and laid out along the stringing path before being pulled up.

• Earthwire/Ground Wire Deployment: Essential for protecting earthwires as they are prepared for installation along the top of towers.

• Road, Rail, & Obstacle Crossings: Provides elevated support to lift conductors/earthwires over roads, tracks, ditches, or other ground-level obstacles, preventing friction damage.

• Substation Approach Areas: Used for controlled guiding of cables as they approach or exit substation boundaries.

• Storage & Preparation Areas: Helps manage conductors and earthwires efficiently in temporary storage or preparation zones, keeping them clear of the ground.

• Any Project with Ground-Level Wire Handling: A fundamental piece of equipment for any OHTL stringing operation to protect conductor investments.
