Engineered Composite Tuff-Poles

Lightweightonly one-third the weight of wood Non-splintering Environmentally safeno chemical preservatives Impervious to insects, woodpeckers, and weather Aesthetically pleasing Easy installation: no special equipment needed Tight manufacturing tolerances

Shakespeare Composite Structures next-generation Tuff-Pole composite poles are stronger, lighter, and longer lasting. This is the result of the newest technologies in fiberglass and resin systems, along with advanced manufacturing process controls. To achieve the Tuff-Pole formula, Shakespeare Composite Structures has engineered new resin formulations and fiberglass configurations, applied new automated process controls, and added advanced UV inhibitors and coatings for long life in adverse weather conditions. Composite Tuff-Poles stay strong. Fiberglass reinforced composite poles dont rot, rust, corrode, splinter, or decay. Insects and wildlife wont eat them, and woodpeckers wont make holes in them. The Tuff-pole will maintain its strength throughout its long life. Manufacturing tolerances for composite Tuff-Pole transmission and distribution poles are tight, and they stay that way. That means the strength that you install remains constant. Composite poles are ideal for installations where climate, wildlife, and other environmental issues tear into wood poles. Composite poles are also very light in weight, making it much easier and simpler to transport them to remote destinations. Airlifting, for example, requires lighter, less costly aircraft, and many installations in backyards or other planted areas can be achieved without heavy equipmentso the lawn isnt torn up by construction traffic. Available in a choice of colors, the hollow Tuff-Poles make an attractive, unobtrusive site possible. Composite poles are installed just like any other pole. They can be field drilled or predrilled at the factory for installation of crossarms, brackets, braces, or other attachments. You can also order climbing steps, if needed.

Load system testing, as well as industry-standard beam tests

Shakespeares Lewtex composite crossarms bring proven strength and durability to your most demanding applications. Our extensive testing program includes industry-standard beam testing, as well as extended UV testing. Our tangent crossarms also undergo advanced, Tangent Eccentric Load testing. These tests result in data that are valid for the whole system, including the mounting hardware and the brackets, not just the crossarm. This more stringent testing is a far better indicator of real-world performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q How are the crossarms protected from ultraviolet light?

A Three ways: Ultraviolet inhibitors are formulated into the resin during manufacture. The crossarms outer shell is covered with a polyester veil that provides a resin-rich surface to control blooming. And the finished product is coated with a UV-protective urethane coating that provides excellent UV resistance. Product performance is verified by extensive accelerated testing.
Q Can the crossarm be drilled in the field?

A Yes. Drill a few holes with standard toolsbrace and bit, etc. For many holes, an electric or hydraulic drill with a carbide tip is suggested.

TOTAL $ 202.50 180.00 $ 382.50 Ult. Load: 5,000 lbs.

Q Does the core absorb water?

A No. NETRACC (SEI) electrical testing verifies that water will not permeate the closed cell foam.
Q Can ground wires be attached to the crossarm?

A Yes. Ground wires may be attached with clips using #10 sheet metal or self-tapping screws. The clips are available from many suppliers.
Q What is the expected life of the crossarm?

A Experience and accelerated testing show a minimum life of 40 years, after which the product may show some visual effects of aging but retain a very high percentage of its strength.
Q What special hardware is needed?

A None. The Lewtex crossarm was designed to be used with existing inventories of hardware without any modifications.
Q What strength values can be expected?

A The standard crossarm will give the same minimum strength values as a wooden crossarm of the same dimensions. During load testing the Lewtex composite crossarm outperformed a Douglas Fir crossarm.
Q What lengths and colors are available?

A Length is limited only by shipping practicalities, and the crossarms are available in a palette of three standard colors. Any color can be matched. Gray is standard.
Q What is the effect of continued flexing on the crossarm?

TOTAL $ 200.00 50.00 $ 250.00 Ult. Load: 10,000 lbs.

A Tests have not been able to produce a fatigue failure in composite utility products. This is one of the strengths of composites, hence their use in bridges, helicopter rotors, and gratingsapplications where resistance to repeated flexing is critical.
Q How do temperature extremes affect the composite crossarm?

A Fiberglass reinforced composites have been used successfully in industrial applications requiring wide temperature variations. The materials smooth, strong surface provides no place for thawing ice to invade. Indeed, composites get stronger in cold weather.
Q After field drilling, is there hydrolizing of exposed edges?

A Published technical data show that significant hydrolizing occurs only when the exposed edge is submerged. Natural exposure to environmental conditions has only minimal effect on the laminate.

Conclusion: The Lewtex crossarm saves $132.50 in installation cost.

Aesthetically pleasing, for any polewood, composite, etc.

Shakespeare Composite Structures Tuff-Top Pole Extensions provide a convenient, inexpensive, and durable way to add conductors or increase clearance on an existing pole installation, whether composite or other type of pole. These strong, attractive extensions are factory assembled from a length of fiberglass reinforced composite pole, plus a versatile attachment bracket. The pole sections are filled with a durable, permanent, structural foam that excludes insects and water and discourages flexing. The versatile attachment brackets either bolt through the pole or, for strongest applications, clamp on. Either way, you can add one or more crossarms, as well as a ridge pin and other attachments. The pole sections come in three standard colors, or you can specify.

Shoulder carryable to reach hard-to-access areas Attractive and inexpensive Easily installed using minimal equipment No rust, rot, woodpecker, or insect damage ever, for extra long installed life Predrilled to your specifications, or drill on site Excellent for drops, lights, telecommunications, etc.

Have you worn out your welcome in your customers back yards?
The augers bad enough, but those big transports and lifting equipment are definitely going to raise a fuss. Your customers often need a pole in places where they wont welcome heavy equipment. Imagine their relief when they watch your crew bring in a shoulder-carryable, lightweight, long-life composite pole that doesnt ruin the looks of their back yards or damage the lawn. Shakespeare Composite Structures fiberglass reinforced composite Tuff-Poles wont rot, rust, or get eaten by insects. They look good (you can even get them in a palette of colors), and you can carry them into a customers prize garden without removing (and paying to reinstall) the landscaping. The poles come predrilled to your specification, or you can drill them on site. They can also be equipped with climbing steps. For back yards or for any hard to reach areas, choose the good-looking pole that installs quickly with minimal crew and little need for heavy transport and lifting equipment. Your customers will appreciate it, and so will their lawns.

Many styles are available. See charts, beginning on Page 4.
