DP-20-4H
DRUM PULLER
At TSE, engineering is a process of continuous product improvement; therefore, specications are subject to change without notice.
The TSE Model DP-20-4H is a versatile, hydraulically
powered four drum puller designed for medium
distribution stringing. It can also be used as a pilot line
winder for heavier distribution. Power is transmitted from
the engine to the reels through a common hydraulic drive
train. A diamond leadscrew levelwind, accommodating
one reel at a time, aids in an even wrap during pulling.
Each reel is equipped with a mechanical clutch to allow
selective reel rotation and a mechanical brake to retard
overspin. The maximum desired linepull can be preset
prior to pulling so that the reel drive will stall if a restriction
to the line occcurs avoiding damage to the conductor,
towers and hardware.
The central operator’s console allows the operator to
completely control the pulling operation with optimum
visibilty of the pulling rope. Operator controls include
linepull, linespeed, holding brake and engine controls.
