While often used together as a system, a puller and a tensioner serve opposite functions:

• A Hydraulic Puller applies a pulling force. It pulls a pilot rope, which in turn pulls the conductor through the stringing blocks (sheaves). It's the "engine" of the stringing operation, providing the necessary motive force.

• A Hydraulic Tensioner applies a braking force. It controls the conductor's tension as it's unspooled from the reel, ensuring the line remains elevated and the desired tension is achieved. It's the "brake" of the operation, providing resistance to the puller's force.

Our hydraulic puller-tensioner machines can perform both functions, offering a versatile and cost-effective solution for a wide range of projects.
