Terrain significantly dictates the stringing approach and equipment selection:

• Flat, Accessible Terrain: Allows for more conventional ground-based tension stringing, utilizing standard pullers, OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners, and large stringing setups with longer pulling sections.

• Mountainous/Hilly Terrain: Often requires smaller, more agile pullers and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners that can be transported more easily. Helicopter stringing for pilot lines becomes crucial to overcome steep inclines and difficult access. Specialized "angle blocks" are needed for turns.

• Swampy/Wetlands: Requires specialized track-mounted equipment or barge-mounted stringing setups to navigate soft ground, minimizing environmental disturbance.

• Urban/Dense Areas: Demands even stricter tension control and precise clearances. Smaller, quieter, and more maneuverable equipment may be preferred, often with enhanced safety features. Our diverse product line includes tension stringing equipment specifically designed and proven for performance across all these challenging terrains and environments.
