PTR-7240 & PTR-7240S Bullwheel Puller Tensioner Reconductorer
The Sherman+Reilly Revolution Series PTR-7240 is a bullwheel puller tensioner and reconductorer in a single unit delivering 40,000 lbs. of pulling force with a maximum speed of 4 mph, and tensions up to 25,000 lbs. The 72” bullwheels provide constant tension and handles transmission-class conductors. The PTR-7240 features a fully electronic, integrated control system for precision application of force to conductors, and an integrated drum for steel hardline; no separate reel trailer is required.
The PTR-7240S split model unit is a puller tensioner and reconductorer in a paired unit with a separated reel carrying trailer with a pulling drum designed for synthetic rope or steel hardline.

PTR-7240 & PTR-7240S Bullwheel Puller Tensioner Reconductorer
This machine also allows for synchronized integration of external reel stands by bypassing the provided automatic levelwind and a reconductoring reel. The PTR-7240’s heavy-duty 5th wheel trailer offers excellent ground clearance for tackling very rugged terrain. The addition of a powerful Caterpillar C9 industrial diesel engine, supplies plenty of power for the large and long pulls. The operator controls employ PLC machine control with CAN-bus technology, and uses a removable/replaceable memory card to store all relevant stringing data. The onboard computer system allows for self-diagnostics of all hydraulic circuits with results shown on a large color display.
The PTR-7240 features a Safe-Zone Cab® providing ultimate safety and comfort for the operator. The Safe-Zone Cab® employs a poly carbonate front window for maximum visibility while providing superior protection against impact. The cab includes climate control, a fully adjustable ergonomic seat, and all required electronic controls and gauges. The Safe-Zone Cab® is designed to reduce operator fatigue, and provide an “off-ground” envelope for greatly reducing the risk of “touch potential” in energized environments.
