"Wire stringing equipment" refers to the specialized machinery, tools, and accessories used for the efficient and safe installation of various types of conductors and cables for overhead and, in some cases, underground power transmission and distribution lines.

Its primary applications include:

• Overhead transmission lines (OHTL): Installing high-voltage (HV), extra-high voltage (EHV), and ultra-high voltage (UHV) conductors, including single, bundled, and OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) cables. This often involves the precise "tension stringing" method to prevent ground contact and conductor damage.

• Distribution Networks: Deploying smaller conductors and insulated cables for local power delivery.

• Substation Construction: Facilitating the installation of busbars and connecting conductors within substations.

• Renewable Energy Projects: Essential for connecting wind turbines and solar farms to the grid via new transmission lines.

• Railway Electrification: Installing overhead catenary wires for electric trains.

Essentially, any project requiring the precise and safe deployment of long lengths of electrical or optical cable in infrastructure relies heavily on specialized wire stringing equipment.
