Description
This compact traction unit performs equally well as a puller or a tensioner and is ideal for reconductoring applications. The self-loading, powered reel winder is an integral part of the machine and allows reels of conductor or pulling rope to be loaded and unloaded without a crane on the location. The unit can be used to pull out old conductor, wind it on a scrap reel, unload it and tension out the new conductor all with one machine.
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. Timberland’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.
