Catalog of Cross Arm PDF

Unicomposite fiberglass cross arms are designed for utilities and are engineered to outperform wood and other composite beams. They feature UV stabilized pultruded fiberglass tubes with internal and external UV protection. The cross arms have high density closed cell foam and can be field drilled or custom factory drilled. They are lighter than wood but have consistent material properties, improve insulation/integrity, and install quicker than wood without chemicals. The document then describes applications, comparisons to other materials, electrical characteristics, and specifications for deadend and tangent cross arms.
