Guy Hook
Guy hooks are used as connecting accessories to the poles. They connect the guy wires to the overhead transmission poles. They are also used for connecting guy wires to the guy strain insulators.
Given the critical roles that they play, we cannot deny the fact that guy hooks must be strong enough to offer a stable connection. This explains why the tensile strength of a guy hook should not be less than 1000Ibs. Our guy hooks have a rated tensile strength of up to 21,000 Ibs.
The guy hooks feature ergonomic designs for easy clamping and connection. The ear-like design of the guy hook creates a stable connection with a guy loop or any other clamping accessory that you would like to connect the cable to. The grooves are smooth and polished to protect the cable strands from different types of physical degradation.
Other than the physical strength, guy hooks are well-protected from the effects of surface damage. This is possible because they are hot-dip galvanized. They won’t be affected by corrosion, rust, or any other form of chemical damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a guy hook?
A guy hook is an overhead accessory that is used for providing a seamless connection of the guy wire to the pole. It acts as a connection endpoint of the guy wires. It is designed to be connecting hardware for the guy wires.
How to use a guy hook?
The design of the guy hook allows it to be connected to the guy wire and then clamped onto the pole. It has a rounded oval groove that prevents damage to the guy wire cable strands. The dead-end of the guy hook attaches to the guy wire while the other end to the pole.
What are the applications of the guy hook?
A guy hook is useful in any overhead transmission line where guy cables are to be connected to the pole. The accessory is usually used on power transmission lines and as well as telecommunication lines. It can be used on both concrete and steel poles.
How to install a guy hook?
A screw and bolts are used for installing guy hook into the right position where it can be connected to the pole. However, the attachments should not be installed on the threaded end of the bolts.
