Inventors include O'Connell, Daniel, Neil; Jodoin, Raymond, Henry; and Wabnegger, David, Karl.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: A horizontal conductor lifter includes a main beam to which an elongate wire holder adapter is connected through a horizontal, stacked bank of insulators and an inclined electrically insulating load transfer element collectively forming an electrically insulating truss to temporarily support the weight of a conductor or sub- conductors in a conductor bundle. The wire holder adapter supports vertically oriented wire holders thereon. A rotation actuator acts between the main beam and a distal end of a boom adapter on a crane or truck boom. In use, the rotation actuator, the stacked bank of insulators and the load transfer element prevent rotation of the wire holders to an off-vertical orientation so that the wire holders are maintained in their operative vertical orientation throughout a maintenance operation.
