Why Use the Pulling & Tensioning Category at CTOS Auctions?

Custom Truck One Source provides full lifecycle support for heavy equipment and utility trucks, covering sales, rentals, service, parts and asset liquidation.
Our CTOS Auctions “Pulling & Tensioning” category gives you access to premium equipment used in overhead and underground line-installation — such as single- and multi-drum pullers, tensioning units, reel carriers, lowboy trailers, and stringing trailers.
By purchasing through the auction channel you can tap into value-rich opportunities and gain assets faster compared with custom orders or standard stock.

What Equipment You’ll Find

• Listings of pulling & tensioning equipment: cable pullers, tensioners, reel trailers, stringing gear — each clearly labelled and grouped under the “Pulling & Tensioning” auction category.
• Listings sorted by Lot Number (or equivalent auction-lot indicator) and inclusive of condition details, location, hours/mileage where applicable.
• Auction format: sold “as-is, where-is”, so pre-bid inspection, transport planning and condition review are key.
• Support from Custom Truck’s nationwide network for inspection, transport/logistics coordination and aftermarket parts/service even for auction-purchased equipment.

Key Benefits

• Industry-specific capability – These units are purpose-built for utility, telecom and power-line stringing or installation work.
• Cost savings – Auctions often yield lower acquisition cost compared to commissioning brand-new builds or buying high-volume retail units.
• Faster deployment – Because the units are pre-built and listed, you may acquire and mobilize faster than waiting for a custom build.
• Single-partner support – From bidding to transport to ongoing service, you benefit from one provider with full lifecycle infrastructure.
