OX Roof Puller Advantages

  • Highest efficiency. One operator does the work of 4-6 pullers
  • Variable speed control. Infinitely adjustable pull speed helps avoid over-pulling and fabric tears
  • Smart capstan drum. Turns only when an operator is present and pulling, a major safety improvement over other approaches. Makes it much easier to feel resistance and correct for it. Reduces rope wear while you await the command to pull
  • Easier ride for your fabric panels. 4" wheels mounted on the bar at the leading edge of the roof panel raise the fabric to ride smoothly over purlins and the ridge connector
  • Beats forklifts or tele-handler for pulls. Because the operator can easily feel resistance through the rope, crews avoid tearing panels when they snag on purlins or the ridge beam.
