While both overhead transmission and distribution lines serve the same general function of carrying electricity, they differ significantly in their scale, voltage, and purpose:

• transmission lines: These are the large, high-voltage lines (typically 115 kV and above) supported by tall steel lattice towers. Their function is to transport bulk power across vast distances from power plants to substations.

• Distribution Lines: These are the lower-voltage lines (typically 1 kV to 69 kV and below) supported by shorter wooden or concrete poles. Their function is to carry power from local substations to individual communities and customers.

Our range of equipment is designed to handle both scales of projects. We offer heavy-duty hydraulic pullers and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners for the large conductors used in transmission lines and more compact, versatile equipment for the varied needs of distribution line construction and maintenance.
