What types of equipment and tools are used for effective power line clearance?
2025-08-12A wide range of specialized equipment is used to ensure safe and efficient line clearance. These tools can be broadly categorized into:
-
Insulated Hand and Power Tools: For direct trimming and cutting near lines.
-
Tree Pruning Equipment: Manual and hydraulic cutters, saws, and chippers.
-
Vehicles and Access Equipment: Aerial lift devices (bucket trucks), winches, and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) for reaching remote areas.
-
Tension Stringing Equipment: While not a direct clearance tool, our tension stringing equipment and overhead tools are vital for maintaining the correct sag and tension of conductors, which is a key part of maintaining proper clearance from the ground and other structures. This helps to prevent conductors from sagging too low and coming into contact with objects below.
At Ningbo Changshi, our expertise in manufacturing robust and reliable equipment for both overhead and underground power line projects means we are a trusted partner in providing the tools necessary to support these critical clearance and maintenance operations.
