Abstract
A cart for carrying a lineman along power line conductors includes a basket, vertical supports, a frame overhanging the basket, the frame mounting rollers which engage the conductors. The frame, vertical supports and basket define a generally C-shaped opening between the frame and the basket through which the conductors pass into vertical alignment with the rollers on the frame. The basket includes a wall remote from the opening which extends upwardly and away from the opening to provide a protected area for the lineman, the vertical supports being positioned between the opening and the area for protecting the lineman from conductors passing through the opening. The cart includes a safety cable affixed to the basket at the opening and removably attachable to the frame at the opening to provide a structural connection between the basket and the frame for strengthening the cart structure during cart movement.
