Fatzer tuck strand straightening

This video shows Mr. Leopold Hofer of Fatzer using a haul rope tuck strand straightening tool. This tool attaches to the individual strand of the haul rope and then, through a pulling force, the machine 'rolls' the natural curves out of the strand. The machine is pulled by means of a wire rope that is wound through a "Hit-rac" cable pulling device and powered by a gas engine. With the strand straightened, it can then be wrapped and prepared to be 'tucked' into the center of the haul rope during the actual splicing process. The tool shown makes short work of (for those who know) an arduous process. Most commonly, this step of wire rope splicing is accomplished by manually straghtening the strands by hand, or with the use of a hydraulic press. This took place at the Portland Aerial Tram, located adjacent to the OHSU Center for Health and Healing. This was part of the process during a project in which the haul rope was replaced, and then spliced. The work shown on this video was completed by employees of Doppelmayr CTEC and Fatzer (Austria). All splice work was completed on a unique splicing bridge that is constructed only for work such as this, and is supported by the track ropes which the tram carriages run upon.
