Kito Crosby, a leading manufacturer of lifting and securement solutions is proud to announce the release of its specialized line of hoists and load monitoring systems tailored specifically for overhead power line construction.
These innovative solutions are designed to enhance the safety, precision, and efficiency of heavy-lift operations essential to building and maintaining resilient energy infrastructure.
The equipment is used for installing, maintaining, and repairing power lines, including high-voltage transmission and distribution lines by lifting, pulling, or tensioning cables, tools, or other materials. The overhead power line-focused portfolio includes:
• Kito LB / LB-SL Lever Hoists for lifting, pulling and tensioning
• Crosby Straightpoint COLT & BOLT tensiometers for measuring cable line tension
• Crosby Straightpoint SID & RLP wireless tension load cells for load monitoring
• Crosby Shackles for general lifting and rigging
• Crosby and Gunnebo Industries Lifting points for general lifting and rigging
Kito LB lever hoists are already well established in the power line industry and any existing Kito LB fleets can be modified by certified distributors to Kito LB-SL with the modification kits.
“Working on overhead power lines involves significant risks due to the high voltage and physical hazards. Our solutions combine first-class innovative features and are perfect for precise work in heavy conditions”, said Travis Buck, Sr. Director Sales & Customer Service EMEA and Kito Crosby.
