Carrier Lift Finger

Flag-Hoisting PrincipleThe Power-Fuse Lift Stick tool removes and installs power fuse holders weighing up to 50 pounds. It is equipped with an arrangement of ropes and pulleys that permit the operator to lower and raise a power fuse holder in much the way a flag is handled on a flagpole. The operator has complete control of the fuse holder at all times, and doesn’t have to balance and lift dead weight as must be done with the fuse on the end of the hookstick.Fuse Mount Supports ToolDuring the removal and replacement of fuse holders, the fuse mount supports both the weight of the fuse holder and the tool. The pole hangs free while the operator automatically steadies it during the raising or lowering operation. Only during the actual opening and closing of the power fuse does the operator support the weight of the tool. A disconnect prong is located on the bottom ferrule of the tool.Soundly ConstructedWhile this tool is soundly constructed to support heavy fuse holders (up to 50 pounds); it is relatively light in weight. The Epoxiglas ™ pole is tested to assure its insulating strength. Operating lines are polypropylene rope. Carrier bands and shepherdhook attachments are coated with plastisol.
