What are the main types of vehicles and equipment used for overhead power line maintenance and construction?

2025-08-12

Specialized vehicles are essential for the safe and efficient construction and maintenance of overhead transmission lines. The primary types include:

  • Bucket Trucks: These are the most common utility vehicles, equipped with an insulated bucket at the end of a hydraulic boom, allowing linemen to safely work on live power lines at height.

  • All-Terrain Tracked Vehicles: For projects in rugged or remote areas with soft ground, snow, or steep slopes, tracked vehicles (like those from PowerBully or UTV International) are used to transport equipment and personnel to the job site.

  • Tension Stringing Equipment Trucks: For large-scale projects, these trucks are an integral part of the tension stringing process, carrying and controlling the specialized winches and pullers needed to precisely install conductors. As a leading manufacturer of OHTL stringing equipment, our products are used on and with these specialized vehicles.
