Correctly tensioning a conductor is a complex process that requires sophisticated machinery. This is not a manual job due to the immense forces involved. The key equipment we manufacture and supply for this purpose includes:

• Hydraulic Pullers: These machines are used to pull the pilot wire and eventually the conductor itself through the OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks. They provide a controlled pulling force to move the conductor along the route.

• Hydraulic OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners: These machines work in tandem with the pullers to apply a precise back-tension to the conductor as it's being strung. This tension is critical for controlling the sag. Our Tensioners feature advanced hydraulic systems that provide a smooth, consistent force, which is essential for preventing conductor damage.

• Dynamometers: These are instruments used to measure the actual tension being applied to the conductor in real-time. They are a crucial safety and quality control tool.

By using our specialized tension stringing equipment, contractors can ensure that every inch of a high-tension line meets the exact design specifications.
