It is made with Ø 51 mm RITZGLAS® tube and has 6 stainless steel cross-pins (5 working and 1 locking), at 152 mm intervals to support the adjustable pole clamp on the live end.

The 5-pin arrangement allows yoke displacement to a maximum length of 608 mm.

The hot-end yokes for suspension or anchor insulator strings are coupled to the Strain Poles through their adjustable pole clamps. The pole clamps can be adjusted manually or with a Hot Stick. The adjustable hook assembly can be used directly on the Strain Pole to lift the conductor, where yoke use is not required.

On the de-energized side, a special 305 mm long steel bolt allows a uniform straining of the assembly through ratchet wrenches and trunnions.

It also has strain jacks of different lengths and the adjustable pole clamp or adjustable hook assembly can be purchased separately or as spare parts.

Trunnions and ratchet wrench can also be purchased separately.

This tool is essential in a wide variety of tasks when servicing high voltage and extra high voltage transmission lines. Adjustable strain poles can be used with adjustable pole clamp (RE401-0138) or adjustable hook assembly (RM4724-1).
