FRB616 Hydraulic Tensioner

Hydraulic Tensioner FRB616

Versatile and highly effective, the FRB616 hydraulic tensioner provides transmission line contractors two pairs of independently controlled bull-wheels that allow electrical transmission installation contractors tensioning capacity for stringing one or two bundled conductors with 2 x 15,750 lbf (70 kN) or 1 x 31,500 lbf (140 kN). The FRB616 is completely electronically controlled with the most advanced controllers available in the T&D marketplace.
