There are two main methods for OHTLstringingequipment.com/Conductor-Stringing-Equipment.html target='_blank'>conductor stringing:

• Tension Stringing: This is a more advanced and common method, especially for high-voltage lines and challenging terrain. It uses specialized equipment like hydraulic pullers and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners to keep the conductor off the ground throughout the entire process, maintaining a constant tension. This prevents damage to the conductor, protects the environment, and ensures safety when crossing over existing roads, rivers, or other power lines.

• Slack Stringing: This is an older, less-common method where the conductor is pulled along the ground and then lifted into position. This method is generally only used in rural areas with open land and no energized lines underneath. It carries a higher risk of conductor damage and safety hazards.
