Legend Hire has teamed up with leading Italian manufacturer OMAC to bring two of the most advanced machines in high-voltage overhead line construction to the Australian market. Specifically built for 500kV transmission lines, these machines are now supported locally by Legend Hire — providing critical new capability for contractors and utilities delivering large-scale infrastructure.
Introducing the Machines
F375.260 Hydraulic Puller – 26 Tonne Capacity
This high-capacity puller delivers 260kN (26 tonnes) of pulling force, purpose-built for stringing multiple conductors in large-scale 500kV projects.
Key features include:
- Twin drum hydraulic system for precision control
- Onboard display with real-time data tracking (pulling force, speed, rope length)
- Suitable for long spans and rugged terrain
- Built for twin and quad bundle conductors
F110.240.42 Hydraulic Tensioner – 24 Tonne Capacity
Working in tandem with the puller, this tensioner offers 240kN (24 tonnes) of tension control to safely manage conductor installation.
Key features include:
- Twin bull-wheel design
- Constant tension regulation under load
- Advanced operator interface for precision adjustments
- Ideal for controlling sag and ensuring conductor integrity
Australian Support, Backed by Legend Hire
By supporting these machines in Australia, Legend Hire is enabling local contractors to access world-class equipment — without the delays and uncertainty of importing or maintaining high-voltage stringing gear offshore.
Legend Hire provides:
- Mine and site compliance setup
- Technical field support and diagnostics
- Transport, servicing, and operator training
- Integration with other winching and temporary works systems
Raising the Bar for 500kV Projects
With the arrival of the F375.260 puller and F110.240.42 tensioner, Legend Hire is setting a new benchmark for what’s possible on major transmission projects in Australia. These machines are built for performance, safety, and reliability — with engineering support on the ground to keep projects moving.
