A crash protection apparatus for a pulling device having a hollow piston cylinder and a pulling claw for pulling a tube out of a tube sheet of a heat exchanger chamber in which the pulling device is disposed, the crash protection apparatus includes another cylinder without a piston rod having an axis substantially parallel to the axis of the hollow-piston cylinder and being fixed relative to the tube sheet in the chamber, a piston of the other cylinder, a bracket extending from the piston substantially at a right angle to the axis of the other cylinder for supporting the pulling device with a supporting force provided by the other cylinder, and a device for controlling the supporting force for compensating only the weight of the pulling device in each position of the pulling device. |
