The construction of an overhead line tower is a multi-step process.

1. Foundation: The process begins with the installation of the foundation, which is typically made of reinforced concrete. The type of foundation depends on the tower type and soil conditions.

2. Assembly: Tower sections, often made of galvanized steel, are delivered to the site and assembled on the ground.

3. Erection: The assembled tower sections are then lifted and bolted into place using specialized equipment. For this crucial step, our gin poles and a wide range of lifting tackles and pulleys are used to safely and efficiently hoist the heavy tower sections.

4. OHTLstringingequipment.com/Conductor-Stringing-Equipment.html target='_blank'>conductor stringing: Once the tower is fully erected, the conductors are run between the towers. This is where our hydraulic puller and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner machines play a critical role, ensuring the conductors are pulled with the precise tension required to achieve the correct sag and line clearance.

Q3: What tools and equipment are essential for tower erection and maintenance?

A3: A safe and successful tower project relies on a full suite of professional-grade tools and equipment. Ningbo Changshi specializes in providing these essential items. Our product line includes:

• Gin Poles: These are indispensable for lifting tower members into position. We offer various gin poles designed for different load capacities and heights.

• Hoisting and Lifting Equipment: Our hoisting tackles, winches, and pulley blocks are used for controlled lifting and rigging, ensuring safe and precise placement of tower components.

• Wrenches and Bolting Tools: The right ratchet wrenches and torque tools are necessary to securely fasten tower bolts, guaranteeing the structural integrity of the entire assembly.

• Safety Accessories: We offer climbing irons, safety harnesses, and other overhead tools that are vital for the safety of crews working at height during tower assembly and conductor installation.

By providing a comprehensive range of high-quality tools, Ningbo Changshi helps crews work more efficiently and, most importantly, with greater safety, from the ground up.
