TCS-5 Series Contact Wire Straighteners: A Straight Up Solution
The Problem:
A marine farm contacted Specialised Force as they required a solution to help straighten the wire which oyster baskets are hung from in order to provide a stronger platform. The wire consisted of 3mm galvanised strand and a chemically bonded 8.5mm outer sheath.
The Solution:
Specialised Force recommended a TCS-5 Contact Wire Straightener to combat the task at hand. Also known as a Trolley Wire Straightener, the TCS-5 is a mechanical straightening device for profiled contact wires. It allows the operator to straighten common sizes of railway contact wire (Trolley Wire) from 85mm² to 161mm². The TCS-5 is generally used on railways but is not limited to such applications. The wire straightener is especially handy as it is small, lightweight and easy to use and is supplied in a lockable carry case.
The Result:
The marine farm workers were very pleased with the recommendation and stated that it had been of great assistance as it allowed them to complete the task quickly and efficiently.
