What are the primary types of equipment required for Overhead Transmission Line tension stringing operations?
2025-07-18A successful tension stringing operation relies on specialized and robust equipment, all available from our comprehensive range:
-
Hydraulic Pullers: These powerful machines are used to pull the conductor or pulling rope through the stringing blocks, generating the necessary pulling force. We offer a variety of pullers with different capacities to suit single, bundled, or large-diameter conductor requirements.
-
Hydraulic Tensioners: These machines are located at the conductor reel end and apply controlled back tension to the conductor as it's pulled out. This prevents the conductor from slackening and touching the ground. Our tensioners feature precise controls for maintaining constant tension.
-
Conductor Stringing Blocks (Sheaves/Travelers): These are critical components installed on each tower to support and guide the conductor smoothly during the stringing process, minimizing friction and preventing damage. We offer a wide range of single, bundle, and specialized blocks.
-
Anti-Twist Steel Wire Ropes: These specially braided steel ropes are used as pilot or pulling ropes, designed to prevent twisting during the pulling operation, which is crucial for maintaining conductor integrity.
-
Swivels: Placed between the pulling rope and the conductor, swivels allow independent rotation, preventing twists from transferring to the conductor.
-
Conductor Grips (Come-Alongs): Devices used to securely clamp onto the conductor for tensioning, anchoring, or dead-ending.
-
Reel Stands/Winders: Used to support the heavy conductor reels at the tensioner location and facilitate smooth payout. We are a one-stop supplier for all these essential OHTL stringing tools and equipment, designed and manufactured to international quality standards.
