OMAC P80 Hydraulic Puller

The OMAC P80 is a hydraulic puller that pulls one rope in stringing operations on overhead transmission lines. It delivers a maximum pull of 80 kN at 1.5 km/h. At its top speed of 4.5 km/h it delivers 25 kN.The machine has one pair of multi-grooved steel bull-wheels, each Ø400 mm with 8 grooves, suited to stringing one steel rope. It accepts ropes up to 18 mm in diameter and joints up to 50 mm. A reelwinder takes a 1600 mm diameter reel and includes an automatic ropewinder.Power comes from a water-cooled diesel engine rated at 74 hp (55 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 P80 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 P80 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 anchoring and lifting, and a manual rope clamp. The machine measures 3.20 m long, 1.95 m wide and 2.00 m high, and weighs 2400 kg without rope.

Optional devices include:

• A chassis with damped axle, overrun brake and drawbar for road towing (homologation excluded)
• 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 360° revolving rope transmission pulley for pulling underground cables, ready to receive telescopic bar models F276 and F277
