Proper stringing and installation are crucial to prevent damage and ensure the conductor's longevity. Our comprehensive range of stringing equipment is designed to facilitate these best practices:

• Maintain Controlled Tension: Always use specialized tensioning equipment to apply tension gradually and smoothly. This prevents sudden stress on the conductor.

• Use Proper Equipment: The use of bull wheel OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners, OHTLstringingequipment.com/Stringing-Blocks--Sheaves.html target='_blank'>Stringing Blocks, and Conductor Grips with elastomer-lined grooves is essential to prevent damage to the conductor's surface.

• Prevent "Bird Caging": Maintain light, steady back tension on the conductor reels to avoid the loosening of outer strands, a phenomenon known as "bird caging," which can lead to permanent damage.

• Pre-Stressing: Applying a controlled tension for a short period before final sagging can help stabilize the conductor and reduce post-installation elongation.

• Ensure Proper Communication: Clear communication between Tensioner and puller operators is vital for a safe and efficient stringing process.

We provide a complete line of OHTL wire cable conductor tension stringing equipment to ensure your ACSR installation projects are executed safely and efficiently.
