www.globalhrresearch.comSherman + 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.
