GIN POLE FOR LOAD LIFTING
Light-weight, mechanically resistant and easy to install tools. The gin poles provide excellent gain in safety and productivity to lift equipment and material in general, in construction or maintenance works, for medium voltage overhead networks.
Composed of aluminum parts and insulating Ritzglas® pole.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Gins are not designed for applications involving side pull of the hand rope or misaligned lifting load. The pulling force direction shall always be parallel to and aligned with the gin pole.
For work load calculation it is recommended to consider a 10% loss, due to the friction applied to the pulling ropes. E.g.: using a lifting system with a double rope block, the maximum load to be lifted will be 635 daN (1400 lb) - a snatch block must be attached to the base of the structure for the hand rope of the rope block.
Using a simple lifting system, the maximum load will be 408 daN (900 lb) the lifted load plus the pulling force and the friction is equal to the gin capacity.

Can be mounted only on free areas of the pole, for it is not provided with a base extension.
- RC400-0578
This gin has the advantage of being used as multiple tools when used as a lifting system for a variety of equipment and materials, as well as a mast for the auxiliary cross arm.
The attachment to the double T concrete pole is done using two steel galvanized screws with wing-nuts and the existing holes of the pole.
For the round concrete pole, the attachment is performed by conventional metal straps. Due to its length, the mast provides an additional length in the pole top part, facilitating handling of the lifted equipment.
Considering that this tool has 4 different attachment positions, the following work load capacities shall be observed:
1ST hole: .....................................100 daN (220 lb) - base side
2ND hole: .....................................150 daN (330 lb)
3RD hole: .....................................200 daN (440 lb)
4TH hole: .....................................250 daN (550 lb) - top side
