The Importance Of A Tension Load Linesman Tool

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.

So when winter approaches and we complain that we have no heat or light, and can not watch TV or play games, these people are out in the thick of it getting our power restored to us as quickly as possible. Enabling us once more to relax and get back to our regular activities in comfort and safety. We should thank these people for their hard work but we think nothing of what they go through for our comfort.

It is a harsh life for these people, as they tour the country keeping our power flowing. They travel through all kinds of terrain to reach the wildest parts of the country, to access the remote cables that feed the even more remote areas of humanity. Constantly on the road they leave family and friends behind for the sake of the job.

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.

They are not considered heroes or given any thought or praise as we go through our daily lives. They work every day just like the rest of us for a wage to pay the bills. Yet if they were not there our lives would be a lot less normal and we ourselves would be unable to prepare for and go to work.

With all this in mind, the importance of a tension load linesman tool in these workers belt harnesses, along with all the other items they require is absolutely clear. If the tool was not working properly or broken it would make their job almost impossible. Because of the locality of their work a broken item could cost days in repair time while another was located to replace it.
