Pole saddles are intended for connection among poles, blocks or masts, to keep the wire tongs clear from the poles and, when necessary, they allow additional clearance by using the wire tong saddle extension. (RC400-0073).

Saddles are attached to poles using the chain tightener, final adjustments are possible by using the tightening wheel.

The wire tong saddles are made of special heat treated aluminum alloy, meeting the load resistance and light-to-handle requirements.

The following models are available: saddle with clamp, saddle with extension and clamp, saddle with hook and saddle with extension and hook.

The pole type saddle without extension is rated for work load of up to 454 daN (1000 lb) and the saddle with extension is rated for working only up to 363 daN (800 lb).

The crossarm type saddle (RM4744) is used when the working clearance is reduced or when one (or more) pole type saddle is also there attached.

The hook connected to the saddle allows for free movements, enabling the wire tong to move freely towards any direction. 

It can be used in crossarms from 76 x 108 mm (3" x 0.35 ft) to 102 x 203 mm (4" x 0.65t), with maximum work load of 227daN (500 lb).

The chain wheel tightener (RM1848-W) provides easy installation of the saddles, preventing it from sliding down or moving excessively, keeping it firm to its location.

The length of this wheel tightener chain can be made longer by using a chain extension (RM1847, RM1847-3, RM1847-4, RM1847-6) to be used in poles of bigger diameters.

The single type lever lift (RM4760-W) is intended for “H” frameworks, or whenever the working clearance is too limited. This saddle is provided with a handle and pin for the connection of the rope block and wire tong respectively, allowing the free movement of both.

Whenever necessary, two saddles, one on each side, can be attached to the pole practically at the same height.

Also, an adapter (RM4760-2) is available to convert the single type lever lift into a double type lever lift, enabling two wire tongs to be used.

These saddles are manufactured of special aluminum alloy, therefore they are very light and easy to handle. They allow up to 527 mm (170 ft) lift of the conductors and accept all wire tongs models.

The single type lever lift RC400-1016 (with insulating Ritzglas® pole), is for the same application as that of the aluminum alloy saddle, but it is normally used on higher transmission voltages, where more space is required to lift the conductors.

This tool provides a total conductor lift of 915 mm (3 ft).

Such tool comprises a diam. of 51 x 915 mm (2" x 3 ft) Ritzglas® pole, of the same load capacity of the lever lifts in aluminum: 454 daN (1000 lb) for the single type and 340 daN (750 lb) for the double type.

The arbor adapter (RM4760-2) is also available for this saddle.

The Bracket with wheel tightener and chain (RM1846-W) is a practical and easy-to-handle tool, to prevent undesired rope snarls. It is attached to the pole using the wheel tightener and chain assembly and possesses six different rings, for the attachment of the ropes. It is manufactured with light aluminum alloy and is supplied with a 915 mm (3 ft) steel chain. It has a maximum total work load of 454 daN (1000 lb).

The Wire Tong Saddle Clevis (RM4740-14) is used to attach the Wire Tong butt-ring to a Wire Tong Saddle, when used as an arm for the Dual Auxiliary Arm, allowing the wire tong to rotate and attach to the Stirrup of the Dual Auxiliary Arm.

The wire tong saddle bolt (RM4740) has the same purpose as the wiretong saddle clevis (pole saddle), however it is used exclusively for mast connection to the double “T” concrete poles.

Practical and simple, it bolts through one hole in the pole and is fixed with a wing nut. The body is manufactured in galvanized steel, the connector and wing nut are manufactured in cooper alloy. Available in a total length of 295 mm (0.95 ft).

Pole clamps are versatile and very useful in distribution and transmission, allowing the fixation of the wire tongs with other tools previously fixed to the structure.

The two assembled parts are made of aluminum alloy. Tightening bolt and wing nut are made of cooper alloy.

Pole clamp internal walls are covered with galvanized steel, to protect the pole's surface from getting damaged.
