Answer: Safety is paramount in OHTL stringing. Key precautions and equipment include:

• Proper Grounding: All stringing equipment, including pullers, tensioners, and travelers (stringing blocks), must be properly grounded to protect personnel from induced voltages and accidental energization.

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): All workers must use appropriate PPE, such as helmets, gloves, and safety shoes, as per local and international safety standards.

• Overpull Protection Systems: Modern hydraulic pullers and tensioners, like those we manufacture, are equipped with automatic overpull protection systems to prevent exceeding the conductor's maximum tension limits.

• Crossings: When stringing over existing energized lines or public infrastructure, temporary guard structures, such as netting or rider poles, are essential to prevent the conductor from dropping.
