How much mechanical strength must insulators have when used as laterals? I've seen suspension, support and tension ones, but I've only seen side ones on railways. Why aren't steel or concrete poles used for such a high voltage?
I’d do it again in reverse. Have the handle end of the chain hoist on the bottom . This way you are taking the weight of the conductor and you are beside the insulator that is being changed. No need to go up to work the hoist and back down again to change out poly insulator.
Next time hang the hook from top insulator and the business end down to the phase you’re lifting so you dont have to climb up and down to operate the hoist
Just look up buckingham handline carrier. There are other brands too. They're made of plastic so if a passing vehicle catches your handline it snaps off instead of breaking your hips as it tears your belt in half. Really handy for holding hardware too though
First of all. Nobody asked. Second of all, rushing is the number one way to get killed. Better to do a job slowly, with quality, than it is to do it rushed, and sloppy.
In school yes I guess, as we are rushed and told speed is key for success. If you were to say this in the field, your foreman and fellow lineman would beat the fuck out of you. In the field we don’t give a shit about speed. That’s how you die or get fucked up
You make what you do because of the lineman that came before you; this should never be forgotten

That makes since. Never thought about using a horse that way

It's a great idea that we had also but the instructors had us do it their way
@@alex1999-1 ayyyee waddup top g
great suggestion, was just following instructor protocol at the time
@@naetnate no bashing on you at all. Just giving suggestions. Try to be as efficient as you can with your moves.
The instructors had them do it that way to get them used to moving up and down while working..
Slow is smooth, smooth is faster. You can't do this on hot shit. You did good at what you were told to do.
Are those P-clips acting like spring washers?
You have a link for the green nut and washer keeper on your tool belt?
No, It's for the leashes but its useful in that sense

We did this without pinstripe pants; and without fall restraints
