Installing massive substation transformers and other heavy electrical components requires highly specialized "Cable Rigging Tools" designed for precision and control:

• Transformer Skidding Systems: Often a combination of low-friction pads, hydraulic pushing cylinders, and track systems for horizontally moving transformers with extreme precision.

• Heavy-Duty Shackles & Slings: With capacities designed for the immense weight of transformers, often multiple slings used in a basket or bridle hitch.

• Spreader Beams & Lifting Beams: Crucial for distributing the load over multiple points, preventing crushing or deformation of the transformer's delicate structure.

• Hydraulic Jacks & Climbing Jacks: For precise vertical positioning and leveling of equipment.

• Precision Alignment Tools: Used to ensure accurate placement and connection of busbars and other electrical interfaces.

These tools work in concert with heavy lifting equipment (like hydraulic gantries) to ensure safe and accurate installation.
