Abstract :
The new technology proposed is to use multiple machines in synchronization, pulling multiple draw wire ropes each one connected to one or more conductors in transmission stringing equipment capable of bundle multiple conductors (2,4,6,8) stringing processes without creating impact on the maneuverability of machinery whilst providing machinery with diversity for any size project. The solution consist in use of a series of Puller or Puller-Tensioner machines linked in parallel and electronically connected and synchronized, however operated by one operator from one main control panel. This new technology is already in use in some countries, it provides accurate speed sychronisation and eliminates the transport issues created by oversize stringing equipment.
