While both are categories of "wire stringing equipment," the key distinction lies in the methodology and control:

• Wire Pulling Equipment (General): This broader term encompasses any machinery (like winches, capstan pullers) designed to pull wire or cable. It might be used for simpler applications where precise tension control isn't critical, or where the conductor can be allowed to sag to the ground (e.g., initial pilot wire pulling, some underground cable pulling). The primary focus is on generating pulling force.

• Tension Stringing Equipment: This is a specialized subset of wire pulling equipment used specifically for overhead line installation. It always involves a synchronized puller and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner (or a combined puller-OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner) working in tandem to keep the conductor or wire elevated off the ground at a controlled, pre-set tension throughout the entire stringing process. This method is critical for protecting expensive conductors, maintaining safety clearances, and achieving precise sag profiles on transmission lines.

Our company specializes in sophisticated tension stringing equipment for OHTL, which inherently includes advanced wire pulling capabilities, ensuring maximum control and safety.
