While they work in tandem, a hydraulic puller and a hydraulic OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner have opposite functions in a tension stringing setup:

• Puller: Located at the end of the line section, the puller uses a powerful motor to reel in the pulling rope, creating the forward pulling force that moves the conductor.

• OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner: Positioned at the beginning of the line section, the tensioner applies a controlled braking force to the conductor reel. This back tension is what keeps the conductor off the ground, ensuring it is always suspended and safely guided.

Using a matched puller and tensioner is the foundation of a safe and efficient tension stringing operation.
