What equipment and manpower is needed?
For a typical SkyWrap installation AFL will supply two wrapping machines, two remote control tugs, two jib poles, cassettes of SkyWrap cable and all the necessary conductor-attached accessories. The equipment is small and will fit into a vehicle with a load area of approximately 2m x 3m (6 x 10ft). All the installer needs to provide is a crew of 6-8 linesmen plus the normal tools used on overhead line work such as a winch or other lifting tackle, ropes, lanyards, small pulley blocks etc. and four calibrated torque wrenches for fitting the accessories.
