NO NEED TO REPLACE SPLIT CROSS ARMS REPAIR THEM AND SAVE
GRA Services StrongArm utility crossarm repair system provides utility companies with a cost effective solution to repair cracked and split utility pole crossarms.
Wooden utility pole cross arms will eventually crack and split due to weather and other stresses.
Replacing crossarms is labor intensive, often requiring several lineman and bucket trucks.
The StrongArm repair system can be installed by a single lineman in just minutes, adding years of service to the crossarm for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
StrongArm clamps are available in multiple sizes and are designed to fit nearly any size crossarm.
Contact GRA Services today to order enough StrongArm clamps to outfit every bucket truck in your fleet.
REPAIR IN 15 MINUTES
- Follow all utility safety procedures
- Identify cracked or split areas of crossarm
- Locate the 'hinge point' of the split - the place where the wood begins to split.
- Add a clamp at the hinge point.
- Use power drill and open ended wrench to tighten nuts to bolts on clamp.
- Install additional clamps at intervals of 18" to 24" along the split with one clamp at the end of the cross arm. If the split length is less than 24", you may only need a clamp at the hinge point and the end of the crossarm.
- Tighten bolts for each clamp.
- Cut off excess bolt length and pound bolt end with hammer to prevent nuts from loosening.
- The process is complete.

RESTORE A CROSSARM WITH STRONGARM AND TIMBERBOND
In many cases the StrongArm system will be all you need to repair a cracked or split crossarm. For more heavily damaged crossarms, combining StrongArm with Timberbond will allow you to truly restore the crossarm.
Timberbond is a two part wood filler and adhesive designed specifically for utility pole use. The product will fill the cracks and permanently bond the split wood pieces together. StrongArm clamps are tightened - after Timberbond is applied - to close the gaps. When Timberbond is cured, the crossarm will be restored to full strength.
Watch the video to see how a lineman applies both products to a heavily damaged crossarm.
