WACO, Texas — LineWise® now offers a Horizontal Double Bundle Line Cart, available in a gas-powered or non-powered version. Designed for use on horizontal bundles spaced 18 inches apart, the new line cart offers a safe, specially engineered mobile platform for performing line inspection and maintenance on transmission lines.
The Horizontal Double Bundle Line Cart offers a 400-pound capacity with a single person occupancy limit, and it includes a foldable seat for operator comfort. Constructed of strong, lightweight aluminum alloy, the cart is bolted together, so there are no welded seams to crack. For added safety, the line cart has a toe board around the floor and two safety bars positioned over the conductors.
Customers can choose a gas-powered or non-powered version of the line cart. The non-powered model requires workers to manually pull themselves along the conductors to move the cart. The gas-powered version includes a 3.2-horsepower gasoline engine to propel the cart. The engine drives two of the cart’s four wheels and comes with a throttle control to adjust speed. It has a transmission with reverse and two forward gears for excellent control.
An optional tow bar assembly is offered for the non-powered Horizontal Double Bundle Line Cart. This helps to maintain balance and alignment of the cart on the conductors. It also allows linemen to pull the cart from ground level using a tow rope.
The Horizontal Double Bundle Line Cart is compatible with conductors up to 2.5 inches in diameter, and is available for purchase or rent.
