How is equipment for underground cable laying different from that for overhead line stringing?

2025-08-12

While both processes involve pulling cables, the equipment and methods are designed for very different environments. Overhead transmission line stringing equipment is built for heavy-duty, long-distance pulls, typically using large bullwheel puller-OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners to maintain precise sag and tension over long spans.

In contrast, underground cable laying equipment focuses on navigating confined spaces and various ground conditions. This includes specialized pullers, OHTLstringingequipment.com/Reel-Stands--Cable-Winders.html target='_blank'>Reel Stands, and winches designed for use in trenches, conduits, or bores. The equipment is often more compact and is engineered to handle the friction and resistance of pulling cables through the ground or underground ducts. Our comprehensive product range includes both overhead and underground solutions to meet the specific needs of these distinct project types.
