Ginpoles

Ginpoles

Ginpoles are used for the erection of transmission line or telecom towers. In combination with lifting winches, they function similarly to crane arms. Once the tower has been erected up to a certain height, the Ginpole is lifted and anchored within the structure of the tower for further erection until the tower is completely mounted.

 

We fabricate Ginpoles made of high tensile aluminium with safe lifting loads from 10KN up to 50KN (pos.1, vertical). The standard lengths of our Ginpoles range between 8 and 30 meters. Standard wise we produce Ginpoles with a superior internal rope guidance system, which has integrated pulleys for the guidance of the rope. Upon request, we also produce Ginpoles with an external rope guidance system. We also produce longer Ginpoles upon request.

 

 

 

 

Lifting load is indicated in 3 positions: pos.1 vertical, pos. 2 with 20 degree inclination installed in the tower center, pos. 3 with 20 degree attached to a towerleg.
Please note: operation of the Ginpole always requires some inclination.
