Pilot line winders for distribution conductor stringing

Timberland Equipment pilot line winders are designed to match the length of pulls required for your project. We supply synthetic rope systems for distribution-class work, and wire rope systems for transmission-class work. Our model range include single-drum pullers up to 4-drum systems.

Distribution systems are designed for pole mounting to allow installation of pilot ropes one day and pulling at a later date with the rope and equipment mounted out of reach from vandalism.
