Standard Duty Two-Pole Strain Carriers (6,500 lb.)

Tested per OSHA & ASTM F711
This tool assembly has the same basic use as the two-pole strain carrier: Relieving strain while removing a single string of insulators. The distribution strain carrier has a compression deadend yoke at the hot end which is equipped with a various shoe sizes to grip the conductor ahead of insulatorconductor hardware with a compression lever-type action, gripping tighter as the load increases. The various shoes furnished with the kit fit conductors from 0.292″ through 0.806″ (No. 2 through 397.5 ACSR).

Maximum load rating for each distribution strain-carrier assembly listed below is 6,500 lb. per insulator string.

Specifications:

-Two 1 1/4″-diameter Epoxiglas poles
-Yokes are 21″ wide on pole centers
-2-ft. adjustment in 6″ increments on five stainless-steel pins per pole
-12″-long Strain Jacks
