Tension Measuring
- Digital readout of the cable tension on the control panel.
- A built in load cell measures and displays the tension of the cable in real time.
- Observe the amount of tension a rider can apply to the cable.
- Observe the effect that thermal expansion has on the cable and ride throughout the day.
- Set the appropriate tension to accommodate larger loads when tubing.
- Electronic shutdown prevents system operation if over tensioned. Tension limit is manually set by a tamper proof hydraulic relief valves so this is an extra safety measure.
CLOSE X
Hydraulic Tension Bar
- Effortlessly adjust the cable tension up to 15,000 lb (67kN).
- Tensioning can be completed in minutes – simply open the two hydraulic valves and activate the hydraulic pump with an eye on the tension readout on the control panel.
- Relief valves and tamper proof ports ensure slow and safe movement of the motor tower.
- This rigid tension bar creates a free standing tower independent of the running cable
CLOSE X
Hydraulic Power Pack
- The hydraulic pump is powered by a 12V deep cycle battery.
- The pump, battery and ball valves are in a lockable steel enclosure.
- Tamper proof relief valves ensure that an operator cannot over tension the hydraulic tension bar.
- Stainless steel hard line hydraulic tubing.
- Uses biodegradable hydraulic fluids that are free of heavy metals, non-toxic, and recyclable.
CLOSE X
Safety Harness Anchor Points
- Attach your fall protection equipment on two 5,000 lb (2,270 kg) safety certified D-rings.
- Work comfortably on top of the tower with the peace of mind that you are safe and secure.
CLOSE X
Micro Adjustment
- Pivot the drive and deflection pulley frames on the 1½” vertical pins to align and reduce pulley liner wear.
CLOSE X
Hinged Base
- Heavy duty 1 ½” hinge pins allow tower to smoothly pivot forward.
CLOSE X
Detachable Ladder
- Detachable lower section and lockable ladder guard prevents unauthorized access.
- Perforated anti-slip rungs increase grip to maximize safety.
- Fall arrest equipment anchor point.
CLOSE X
Foundation
- Secure the tower to concrete piles, concrete blocks or screw pile foundation.
- Foundation plans are available on the resources page and can be taken to a local engineer for approval.
- Concrete piles use less material than concrete blocks because they rely on the earth friction and not just sheer weight.
- Screw pile foundations and anchors allow the structure to be considered temporary for permits. Screw piles are excellent in cold weather climates due to resistance to frost heaves.

Stainless Steel
- This option is recommended for saltwater applications.
- Visually appealing for distinguished buyers.
CLOSE X
Conduit Rings
- Neatly guides the power and instrumentation wires down either side of the motor tower and out of sight.
- Both wires are secured above by strain reliefs.
CLOSE X
Bearings
- Heavy duty 2” (50 mm) SKF roller bearings bearings rated for long life expectancy at high tensions.
- Sealed bearings prevent contaminants from entering and reduces greasing intervals.
- Tapered locking mechanism firmly secures bearing to shaft to prevent slippage in this violent application
CLOSE X
Hood / Work Platform
- When closed there is reduced motor noise and extra protection of the mechanical system from the weather.
- When unlatched the hoods drop down to become a safe work platform.
- Comfortably perform maintenance at chest level.
- Enjoy the view with another technician on the opposite work platform.
- Anti-slip raised edges that also prevents bolts and tools from rolling off.
- Engineered for 700 lbs (317 kg) point loaded at the edge of the platform.
- Seadek is available for extra comfort and style.
