The Tension Load Linesman Tool And Its Importance

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.

The items these people need all have to be carried on their person at all times. Usually suspended from a belt or in some kind of belt harness or pouch. Climbing around on steel frames or up poles and working with high voltage cables the worker needs everything instantly accessible to be able to do their job. For this reason all the items have to be compact, light and reliable, the workers need to know the things they use will not let them down.

This type of work is much more necessary in bad weather. This is the time when the weaknesses in any points of the cables become apparent. Blizzards, ice and rain test everything to the limit including the people and their tools, but as soon as the worst is over this team of intrepid workers is soon on the job.

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.

The life these people live is hard and very different to our normality. They travel across the country to the remotest spots often in the roughest conditions to maintain the power to our most distant outposts. They are on the move all the time and have little chance of being with friends and family especially during winter festivals.

The bravery they show and skills and strength they use to do this work, climbing high structures to work with high voltage cables sets them apart from the rest. They keep the energy flowing so that the country can work. Factories, offices, transport and the government would all be lost without power.

Still they are not recognized. They work to get paid just like us. Travelling the country and doing their job to ensure that we too can be ready and able to do ours, whatever it may be.

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.
