OMAC P100 Hydraulic Puller

The OMAC P100 is a hydraulic puller that pulls one rope in stringing operations on overhead transmission lines. It delivers a maximum pull of 100 kN at 2.5 km/h. At its top speed of 5 km/h it delivers 42 kN.

The machine has one pair of multi-grooved steel bull-wheels, each Ø525 mm with 9 grooves, suited to stringing one steel rope. It accepts ropes up to 24 mm in diameter and joints up to 60 mm. A reelwinder takes a 1600 mm diameter reel and includes an automatic ropewinder.

Power comes from a water-cooled diesel engine rated at 135 hp (100 kW), with a 12 V electric plant. A heat exchanger cools the oil in the hydraulic circuit.

The operator works from a control panel with a built-in DEG 4.0 electronic instrument, which has a 7″ graphic colour display and a USB port. The P100 uses a maintenance-free load cell reading system and has an electronic instrument by-pass. A pull force setting device holds the pre-set force even at zero speed, and a negative hydraulic brake provides safety braking.

As standard, the P100 sits on a rigid-axle chassis with a manual brake and a detachable drawbar for low-speed towing on the job site. It has hydraulic back stabilisers and manual front stabilisers, attachments for anchorage and lifting, and a manual rope clamp. The machine measures 3.70 m long, 2.15 m wide and 2.10 m high, and weighs 3900 kg without rope.

Optional devices include:

• An axle with leaf spring suspension, drawbar, pneumatic braking, tyres and lights for road towing (without homologation)
• Road towing lights
• A pneumatic braking system
• A cold-start device for the diesel engine and hydraulic circuit down to -30°C
• A cable remote control with 10 m of cable
• A radio control with a range of up to 100 m
• An automatic rope clamp
• Hydraulic front stabilisers
• A printer with accessories and case
• A bigger reelwinder for a 1900 mm diameter reel
• A set-up for pulling two ropes simultaneously
• A second reelwinder to complete the two-rope set-up
