The Tension Load Linesman Tool And Its Importance

By Bonnie Contreras


For someone up a pole suspended by little more than a piece of leather dealing with high voltage cables the importance of a tension load linesman tool becomes pretty obvious. The tool bridges the gap between broken or faulty cables while new ones are put into place. This allows the person to work freely and safely to replace the cable.

All the tools this type of worker needs have to be strapped to his body so that they are constantly at hand. So they must be compact and light yet robust and reliable. The last thing they need is to be up a pole or at the top of a steel framework to find that a piece of equipment is broken or fails mid job.

Like the people these tools are out in the worst of the weather and need to be rugged to survive the hash environment. Freezing conditions, wind rain and snow all find the weaknesses in our power network and that is when we need these people doing the repairs. As soon as the conditions are half decent they are out there getting us up and running again.

When winter comes and we are sat at home complaining we have no light or heat we should be thinking of these people who are out in the harsh conditions getting our power restored. As we sulk we are missing our favourite program or want to play games and can not, these people are hard at work to get us back to normal. Allowing us once again to be comfortable and warm in our homes relaxing with our hobbies.

Working like this is a pretty rough way to live. Travelling the country through the most remote and roughest parts to get to the distant reaches of our habitation. They see little of their families and friends as the work takes them away for long periods of time but they do it just the same.

The lack of fear and sheer determination these people show as they work in dangerous conditions. They climb high structures to reach cables carrying even higher voltage, to work with all their skill, in all weathers. They keep our country running by sheer will power alone.

Yet they are unsung heroes. Working for a pay packet like you and I. Turning up for work everyday, moving from job to job to make sure we all have the power we need at home and at work. Just to ensure that we too can get ready, turn up for our work and do other necessary tasks.

So we can see the tension load linesman tool and its importance is just a small part of a larger jigsaw of tools and equipment necessary to make the life of these people much easier. A weak or faulty tool would cause problems and distress as it would render the job practically impossible. Locating a replacement in the furthest reaches of the country, could be very time consuming to say the least adding days to the time a repair could take.
