The materials used for transmission towers are chosen for their strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. The most common materials include:

• Lattice Steel: This is the most prevalent material for high-voltage transmission towers. The lattice design—a framework of steel angles—is lightweight yet incredibly strong, providing excellent stability against wind and ice loads. Lattice towers are highly durable and are typically hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance.

• Tubular Steel: Used for both poles and towers, tubular steel structures are made from hollow steel tubes. They offer a more compact, modern, and aesthetically pleasing design, making them a popular choice for urban and suburban areas.

• Concrete: Concrete poles and structures are known for their high durability, resistance to fire, and long lifespan. They are often used for distribution and sub-transmission lines.

We provide a wide array of tools and accessories for working with structures made from all of these materials, ensuring our customers have the right equipment for any project, from small distribution lines to large-scale UHV transmission towers.
