What are some common symbols and how does our equipment help install them?
2025-08-13A diagram uses symbols to represent all the components our company provides tools for:
-
Utility Poles: Often represented by a simple vertical line or a circle. We supply the gin poles and winches for the safe and efficient erection of these support structures.
-
Conductors: Shown as single lines on the diagram. Our hydraulic stringing equipment is used to install these lines, and our various OHTLstringingequipment.com/Conductor-Grips--Clamps.html target='_blank'>Conductor Grips and underground-Cable-Laying-Equipment-and-Tools.html target='_blank'>cable rollers are essential for this process.
-
Insulators: These are shown as short, parallel lines that separate a conductor from its support. We provide a range of tools for attaching conductors to insulators, such as ratchet hoists and hoisting tackles.
-
Switches and Fuses: These are protection devices and are shown with specific symbols. We manufacture the tools needed for the safe installation and maintenance of these components, including insulated hot sticks and portable earthing and grounding kits.
Our comprehensive product line ensures that every symbol on an overhead distribution line diagram can be translated into a successfully completed and safely maintained physical structure.
