Pole-Top-Make-Off
A Pole Top Make Off is a specialized formed wire used for securing and terminating stay strands at utility pole tops. The Pole Top Make Off consists of multiple galvanized steel wire rods stranded together, with both ends meeting and forming a unified group. It serves as a replacement for traditional wedge clamps and UT clamps, making installation simpler and more efficient.
The Pole Top Make Off wraps around the pole top to facilitate the termination of stay strands that secure the pole to the ground. Installation can be done by connecting the round head directly to the pole, assembling it on a tension clamp, or mounting it on a pole band. The other end of the Pole Top Make Off connects to a short guy grip and assembles on the insulator pin.
Hauptmerkmale:
• High-strength construction with galvanized steel wire providing 95% or higher stay wire breaking load capacity
• Corrosion-resistant design at connection points
• Anti-theft security due to firm connection mechanism
• Simple installation process compared to traditional clamps
• Compatible with various pole mounting configurations
• Customizable sizes to match specific pole requirements

Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)
What materials are used to make Pole Top Make Offs?
Pole Top Make Offs are typically made from high-strength galvanized steel wire. The galvanization process provides resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions. Some manufacturers also use aluminum-clad steel material for specific applications.
How do Pole Top Make Offs improve pole stability?
Pole Top Make Offs enhance pole stability by providing a secure connection point for guy wires or stay strands. They distribute the tension forces evenly around the pole top, preventing pole lean or toppling. This is especially important in areas with high winds or heavy ice loads.
What are the advantages of using Pole Top Make Offs?
Pole Top Make Offs offer several advantages:
- Easy installation without special tools
- Reduced labor costs and installation time
- High reliability with superior gripping force
- Protection of conductors from damage
- Resistance to theft due to firm connection
- Corrosion resistance for long-term durability
How are Pole Top Make Offs installed?
Installation of Pole Top Make Offs is straightforward:
- Wrap the make off around the pole top
- Connect one end to the pole directly or via a tension clamp/pole band
- Wrap the other end with a short guy grip
- Assemble on the insulator pin This process requires no specialized tools and can be done quickly.
What sizes are available for Pole Top Make Offs?
Pole Top Make Offs come in various sizes to accommodate different stay wire diameters and pole sizes. Common sizes range from 7.21mm to 16.25mm in stay wire diameter. Manufacturers often provide customization options to meet specific requirements for pole diameter and insulator spacing.
How do Pole Top Make Offs compare to traditional clamping methods?
Pole Top Make Offs offer several advantages over traditional wedge clamps and UT clamps:
- Simpler installation process
- More even distribution of forces
- Better corrosion resistance
- Reduced risk of conductor damage
- Improved theft prevention These benefits contribute to longer-lasting and more reliable pole top connections.
What is the typical lifespan of a Pole Top Make Off?
The lifespan of a Pole Top Make Off can vary depending on environmental conditions and installation quality. Jedoch, due to their galvanized steel construction and corrosion resistance, they typically last for many years, often matching or exceeding the lifespan of the utility pole itself.
Can Pole Top Make Offs be used with different types of conductors?
Ja, Pole Top Make Offs are versatile and can be used with various types of conductors, including bare conductors and overhead insulated conductors. They are designed to accommodate different stranding configurations and wire sizes commonly used in power transmission and distribution lines.
