Sherman + Reilly

Sherman + Reilly has designed its Revolution

Series equipment around operator safety,

ergonomics, and environmental comfort.

The new Sherman + Reilly Revolution Series

P-1400X Single Drum Puller is a perfect

example of this. With a 14,000-pound pulling

capacity, the P-1400X also has additional re-

conductoring capabilities. This transmission

class puller utilizes an automatic horizontal

floating levelwind that permits overhead

rope retrieval with precision control.

One of the most important features of the

P-1400X is its Safe-Zone. The Safe-Zone Cab

employs a floor-to-ceiling polycarbonate

front window for maximum visibility while

providing superior protection against im-

pact. The cab includes climate control, a fully

adjustable ergonomic seat, and all required

electronic controls and gauges. The Safe-

Zone Cab is designed to reduce operator

fatigue and provide an “off-ground” envelope

for greatly reducing the risk of “touch poten-

tial” in energized environments.

The P-1400X is also equipped with an

ACG (advanced control group), allowing

for a single operator at a protected central

console to control payout speed, pulling

speed, levelwind controls, and jack position.

This puller comes with a 173-horsepower

industrial diesel engine capable of delivering

a full 14,000 pounds of line pull, rated at the

top of the drum. This machine also employs

a first-of-a-kind drum engagement system,

utilizing lateral sliding sides and drum

support rollers. These unique hydraulically

actuated articulating sides of the machine al-

low for easy changing of the drum to a metal

reconductoring reel. The fully hydraulic direct

drive system provides the operator with

precise and intuitive automatic drive/drum

braking. The P-1400’s tandem air brake axle

trailer is equipped with three hydraulic jacks,

an adjustable pintle eye, safety chains/hooks,

and U.S. DOT-approved LED lighting.
