PTV 100-72
PULLER / TENSIONER
This compact traction unit performs equally well as a
puller or a tensioner and is ideal for reconductoring
applications. Having the self-loading, powered reel
winder as an integral part of the machine allows reels
of conductor or pulling rope to be loaded and unloaded
without a crane on the location.
Ability to operate equally well as a puller or a tensioner
means that a unit can pull out old conductor, wind
it on a scrap reel, unload it and tension out the new
conductor all with one machine. For contractors or
utilty companies performing a wide variety of jobs,
these units have unsurpassed versatility. Whether it’s
stringing new conductor, reconductoring existing circuits
and groundwire or wrecking out old conductors these
combination units are ideal. The V-groove bullwheel
permits easy handling of splicing sleeves and a wide
range of conductor or rope diameters.
Conductor or pulling line is imbedded in the elastomer
lined V-groove of the bullwheel. TSE’s unique hydraulic
system allows the operator to preset the maximum pulling
tension and provides infinite linespeed and linepull control.
The machine design incorporates a pivoting bullwheel
arrangement which automatically aligns the bullwheel
with the point on the reel from which the conductor is
being payed off. During the pulling mode the operator
controls the bullwheel movement to levelwind the pulled
cable onto the storage reel.
