B 1800/3-25

KEY FACTS

  • Completely electronically controlled tensioner for installation by helicopter for 1 cable with 2 bull wheels (Ø 1800 mm), with a groove diameter 45 mm (optional 60 mm) and a max. pulling and tensioning force of 30 kN

  • ITS, Intelligent Tension Sustainer (double safety for stringing operation and helicopter, tensioner temporarily continues pulling with last set tensioning force in case of failure)
