Handling Tools

Universal Poles

Universal Poles and Pole Extensions are specially designed to provide sure, steady handling of S&C power fuses, disconnects, interrupter switches, and cutouts, as well as those of other manufacture. They’re constructed of a fine-weave unidirectional electrical-grade fiberglass laminate applied to a unicellular foam core, and are finished with a hard-gloss porosity-free epoxy sealer.

S&C’s Universal Poles and Pole Extensions are 50 percent stiffer and several times stronger than wood. They last longer than wood. And they have better electrical properties and higher resistance to moisture absorption than wood.

The entire length of each S&C Universal Pole and Pole Extension is tested at 100 kV per foot for five minutes in compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Standard 1926.951.

All poles are equipped with standard universal splined heads fitted with stainless-steel cap screws, washers, and nuts. Where two fittings are required to complete a particular handling job, the Double-Head Style is recommended.
