Universal Come Along Clamps

Come Along Clamps are specialized wire-gripping tools used in Overhead Equipment (OHE) installation and maintenance in railway electrification systems. They are designed to grip, pull, and tension contact wires, catenary wires, and jumper conductors safely and securely during stringing or adjustment operations.

These clamps provide a non-slip grip without damaging the conductor strands, ensuring precise alignment and tensioning of overhead wires to maintain the correct stagger and height, which are critical for safe and uninterrupted pantograph operation.

Key Features:

• High Grip Strength: Designed to hold conductors firmly under high tensile load.

• Jaw Design: Specially shaped jaws prevent slippage and conductor damage.

• Material: Forged steel or alloy construction for high strength and durability.

• Capacity: Universal.

• Safety: Equipped with locking mechanisms or spring-loaded jaws for secure grip.

• Operation: Manually operated, typically used with chain pulley blocks or winches for pulling/tensioning.

Applications in Railway Sector:

• Tensioning of OHE contact and catenary wires during new line electrification.

• Holding conductors in position during repair, maintenance, or replacement.

• Used by traction maintenance teams in OHE depots and work sites.

Standards Compliance:

• Designed as per RDSO specifications and Indian Railways’ OHE maintenance standards.
