Highway divider cable tensioning apparatus
A tensioning apparatus for pulling together respective ends of a previously severed high-tension cable and, thus, repairing and restoring tension upon a unified cable includes a base member defining a pair of guide channels spaced apart along a common longitudinal axis. The tensioning apparatus includes a pair of tensioning arms positioned in the pair of guide channels, respectively, that is slidably movable between a relaxed configuration displaced from one another and a tensioned configuration proximate one another. Each tensioning arm includes a gripper member configured to clamp onto the respective ends of the severed cable. Hydraulic or pneumatic power is operatively coupled to the pair of tensioning arms for selectively actuating movement of the pair of tensioning arms along the guide channels between the relaxed and tensioned configurations. In other words, the ends of the severed cable are pulled tightly toward one another and joined together under tension.
