The Cable Pusher equipped with a crawler track walking device merges the characteristics of a crawler track - similar to a tank tread system - with the functionality of a cable pusher, we also call it Tank Cable Pusher. This combination greatly improves the cable pusher's ability to traverse challenging terrains, making it well-suited for a range of complex or heavy-duty cable installation projects.
How a Crawler Track Cable Pusher Can Help:
1. Enhanced Mobility in Difficult Terrain
Crawler tracks offer superior traction on rough, uneven, or soft ground, such as mud, sand, gravel, or snow. This makes the cable pusher highly effective in areas where wheeled or standard tracked vehicles may struggle. It can easily maneuver across construction sites, excavation zones, or outdoor environments without getting bogged down, enabling you to push cables over large, complex areas.
2. Stability and Balance
The crawler track design provides the cable pusher with greater stability. Even on slopes, uneven surfaces, or in tighter spaces, the tracks distribute weight more evenly, helping the pusher remain upright and maintain consistent pressure while pushing cables. This is particularly important when working on steep inclines, elevated platforms, or narrow trenches, where other cable-pushing equipment may be difficult to stabilize or control.
3. Increased Pushing Power and Torque
Crawler tracks allow the pusher to apply more force while maintaining stability, resulting in enhanced pushing power. This is especially useful when handling heavier cables or long cable runs that require substantial force to push through conduits or along installation paths. Whether pushing large fiber optic cables, high-voltage electrical cables, or telecommunication lines, the crawler track pusher ensures smooth, uninterrupted cable deployment.
4. Ability to Navigate Obstacles
Crawler tracks can easily handle obstacles such as rocks, curbs, or debris without frequent repositioning. This mobility is especially beneficial in areas with unexpected obstructions, ensuring a continuous and efficient cable installation process. It also enables the pusher to cross construction zones cluttered with equipment, machinery, or other obstacles.
5. Improved Safety
With its low center of gravity and enhanced stability, a crawler track cable pusher is less prone to tipping over, reducing the risk of accidents during cable installations. The tracks also provide a smoother and more controlled operation, which lowers the chance of damaging cables during the pushing process. This is particularly important for sensitive cables like fiber optics, which can be damaged by excessive stress or sharp bends.
6. Efficient Cable Installation Over Long Distances
Crawler track systems are ideal for installing cables over long distances or across large areas, such as along roadways, highways, railways, or airports. The crawler track pusher can transport itself and the cables to the desired position without relying on additional personnel to move it manually, streamlining the installation process.
7. Versatility for Complex Projects
The combination of mobility, power, and stability makes a crawler track cable pusher suitable for various cable installation applications, including:
- Telecommunications: Running cables in large facilities, across outdoor spaces, or even underground.
- Utility and Infrastructure Projects: Deploying high-voltage power cables, streetlight wiring, or industrial cable networks.
- Fiber Optic Installations: Particularly useful for long-distance runs that require precise and careful pushing.
8. Reduced Labor Costs and Time
By combining the functionality of a pusher and crawler tracks, this equipment can perform the work of multiple operators, reducing the number of people needed for the job. It also accelerates installation, cutting down the total time required for cable deployment, which is beneficial in both commercial and construction settings.
9. Improved Precision and Control
The crawler tracks allow the cable pusher to be guided more precisely, even through challenging areas, ensuring that cables are laid down exactly where they need to be. This reduces the risk of having to rework or reposition cables during or after installation.
Application Scenarios:
Long-distance Telecommunications Installations: Laying fiber optic or copper cables across wide, difficult-to-reach areas.
Utility and Power Cables in Remote Areas: Installing power lines in rugged or undeveloped regions where terrain poses a challenge.
Construction Projects: Running cables under or around construction sites where standard methods would be inefficient.
