What are the essential machines that form a complete "conductor stringing equipment" system, and how do they interact?
2025-07-21A complete "conductor stringing equipment" system typically consists of highly synchronized machines working together:
-
Hydraulic Puller: Located at the start of the stringing section, this machine generates the controlled pulling force. It typically pulls a pilot rope (often steel anti-twist wire rope), which is then connected to the conductor. Our pullers offer infinitely variable speed control and can be pre-set for maximum pulling force.
-
Hydraulic OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner: Positioned at the other end of the section, the OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner applies a precise, continuous back tension to the conductor as it's being pulled. This crucial function prevents the conductor from sagging uncontrollably or touching the ground.
-
Conductor Reel Stands (drum stands): These robust stands support the large conductor reels, allowing them to rotate freely while often incorporating braking systems to manage payout or add additional back tension.
-
Stringing Blocks (Sheaves): Specialized, large-diameter pulleys with non-abrasive linings mounted on the towers to guide the conductor smoothly and protect its surface during the pull.
-
pulling grips & Swivels: Connect the conductor to the pulling rope and prevent torsional stress during stringing.
-
Communication System: Essential for continuous, clear coordination between the puller and tensioner operators, often via two-way radios or interlinked digital systems.
These components are designed to work seamlessly, ensuring a controlled, safe, and efficient conductor installation process.
