A successful overhead pulling operation is a result of meticulous planning and adherence to safety protocols. The process typically involves:

1. Site Preparation: The route is cleared of any obstacles, and the stringing equipment is set up and grounded at both ends of the section.

2. Pilot Rope Installation: A lightweight pilot rope is pulled between the puller and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner, often manually or with a small winch.

3. conductor pulling: The conductor is attached to the pilot rope via a pulling grip and Swivel. The puller then pulls the conductor, while the OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner controls its payout from the reel.

4. Sagging and Clipping: Once the conductor is fully pulled, it is "sagged" to the precise tension required by engineering specifications. It is then permanently secured to the towers with clamps and insulators.

Crucial safety considerations include using real-time tension monitoring, ensuring proper grounding of all equipment, and maintaining clear communication between all team members.
