ABSTRACT:
A method and trolley for restringing downed utility wires between utility poles in which a self-powered trolley is hooked onto a remaining intact line and caused to traverse along the line by motor driven pulley wheels engaging the intact line, while towing a P-line towards the next pole. A bumper contact operates a switch to turn off the motor when the trolley reaches the vicinity of the next pole. The motor is powered by a battery in a lower housing, the lower housing mounted below an upper housing carrying the wheels and motor, with a space therebetween allowing the trolley to be hooked onto the intact line. The P-line is used to pull the replacement line to the next pole.
