A comprehensive tension stringing setup typically includes:

• Hydraulic Pullers: These machines pull the pilot wire or conductor through the OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks with controlled force.

• Hydraulic OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners: These machines maintain a constant back tension on the conductor as it's being unwound from the reel, preventing uncontrolled sag and ensuring smooth installation.

• Stringing Blocks (Sheaves/Rollers): Mounted on poles or towers, these specialized pulleys guide the conductor smoothly during the stringing process, minimizing friction and preventing damage. They come in various configurations (single, double, triple, etc.) and materials (nylon, aluminum) depending on the conductor type and project requirements.

• Anti-Twisting Steel Ropes (Pilot Wires): Used to initially pull the heavier pulling rope or conductor, designed to prevent twisting during installation.

• Conductor Reel Stands/Jacks: Equipment for safely supporting and unwinding large conductor reels.

• Swivels and Running Boards: Swivels prevent torsion from accumulating in the rope and conductor, while running boards are used to string multiple conductors simultaneously.

• Grounding Equipment: Essential for safety, ensuring proper earthing of machines and lines during the operation.

• Communication Systems: Reliable two-way communication (e.g., radios) between the puller operator, Tensioner operator, and ground crew is paramount for a safe and efficient operation.
