Insulators and hardware are installed on the towers and conductors after the main stringing process is complete. This critical step ensures the electrical integrity and mechanical stability of the line.

• Pre-Installation: First, all insulators and hardware are inspected for any damage. Insulator strings are assembled on the ground before being hoisted into position.

• Lifting: A winch and gin pole are used to safely lift the insulator strings and other hardware to the top of the tower.

• Attachment: Linemen use a range of specialized tools and grips to securely attach the insulators to the tower and the conductor to the insulators. For live-line work, insulated hot sticks and other specialized equipment are required.

Our comprehensive selection of Overhead Tools and Accessories is designed to support every phase of this work, from lifting hardware to making final, secure connections, ensuring the long-term reliability and safety of the power line.
