overhead line work can be broadly categorized into three main types, each with its own set of challenges and requirements:

• New Construction: This involves building new power lines from the ground up, including the erection of poles or towers, the stringing of conductors, and the installation of all associated hardware and insulators. This is where our hydraulic puller and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner machines and gin poles are most heavily utilized.

• Maintenance: This is routine work performed to ensure the long-term reliability and safety of existing lines. It includes inspections, tightening hardware, trimming vegetation, and replacing worn components like insulators and braces. Our overhead tools and accessories are crucial for these ongoing tasks.

• Repair and Emergency Response: This type of work is reactive, addressing issues like downed lines, broken poles, or storm damage. The goal is to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. This requires a rapid response and a full suite of equipment, including our portable winches and stringing equipment, to make quick repairs.
