Used on cross arms when only one conductor needs to be raised. Use the arm gin to change insulators; apply an armor rod to a conductor; raise a conductor from a lower position to the cross arm, or lower the conductor. The 21/2" (6.4 cm) diameter fiberglass pole has two eyes at the top in which to hook the block line and tie back line. The base fits a 43/4" x 57/8" (12.1 x 14.9 cm) cross arm. Shims are needed for smaller arms.

Made from steel. Can be installed on the pole by one lineman with the single alloy chain. The assembly can also be installed over a cross arm. Blocks can be installed in the eye or from the shackle provided. Rope guides for the fall line are located on both sides of the gin assembly. The gin assembly has a safe working load limit of 2,000 lbs (907 kg). The safe working load limit is the total load on the gin assembly including load to be lifted, pull on fall line and friction.

WARNING:Tagging loads will subject gin to side loading that will reduce the SWLL.

Use as a spreader for the outer conductors when changing insulators or cross arms. The lineman raises the center conductor with a block line, then installs the spreader arm on the Series 112 gin pole and raises the spreader arm into place (approximately 2 feet [61.0 cm] from the top) with an alligator stick (Cat. No. 408FGQ). A switch stick (Cat. No. 1408FGQ) is used for tightening.

Note: This tool is not designed to support the conductor. Conductors are supported with the block line used to raise them into place, and tied with a rope snubbing bracket (Cat. No. 8200) at the base of the pole. A pigtail stick (Cat. No. 5FGQ/U or 501FGQ/U) is used to guide conductors into the hooks.

Designed to raise conductors in the clear with a hinged action from the center clamp installed approximately 30" (76.2 cm) from the top of the gin pole. The arms adjust from 48" (1.22 m) to 72" (1.83 m). The conductor is raised along with the outer end of the arm by a pigtail hook (Cat. No. 501FGQ) on a block line (Cat. No.1441) attached in rings at the top of the pole. First, the center conductor is raised with a block line. The telescopic spreader arms are then installed in the center clamp with the pigtail hook attached to the eye provided in the outer end of the arm. Used with the fiberglass gin assembly.

Umbrella Arm

Used on line trucks with a fiberglass boom extension or on bucket trucks. The arm is used for lifting conductors while changing insulators, cross arms, or poles.

The horizontal arm has 21/2" (6.3 cm) diameter foam-filled fiberglass throughout. The horizontal arms of both the boom-mounted and the truck-mounted units are 9' (2.74 m) long. The boom-mounted unit has a 5' (1.52 m) mast and the pole-mounted unit has a 10' (3.05 m) mast. The mast is designed for lifting from one to four conductors. It is supplied with wire rollers or wire holders with locking gates to keep the conductor in place. A switch hook is used to release the gate.

The insulated wire holders can be moved or removed for alignment. This unit has a rating of 800 pounds (363 kg) balanced load or 200 lbs per wire holder or roller. Arm dielectric strength is 15 kV without insulators and 35 kV with insulators.
