Huskie Tools, LLC, located just outside of Chicago, Illinois, has built a 45-year reputation on designing and manufacturing the industry’s highest quality and safest utility products and equipment.
Huskie Tools has announced that their TiiGER Utility Pole Puller is now covered by the industry’s longest warranty.
MADE BY A LINEMAN FOR LINEMEN
Huskie Equipment A lineman invented the TiiGER utility pole pulling system over twenty years ago. After witnessing his crew ripping poles out of the ground with their truck booms and having to explain to their boss why their truck boom was always in need of costly repairs.
TiiGER eliminates the need for subpar tools or risky and dangerous truck boom pulling methods that can result in thousands of dollars of unwarranted truck damage, property damage, or injury risk.
“The largest utility truck providers and fleet directors realize thousands of dollars in savings annually with TiiGER by not having their equipment down and in the repair shop due to boom damage from improper pulling methods not covered by insurance or truck warranties. TiiGER is in fact insurance against worker safety, property damage, and expensive truck repair and downtime,” Huskie Tools CEO Nicholas Skrobot stated.
UTILITY POLE PULLERS ARE NOT TRUCK BOOMS
At a 75-degree elevation, a typical boom truck with a 40,000-pound derrick and a 20-foot extension has a lifting capacity of 6,000 pounds.
The lifting capacity of the TiiGER Pole Puller is 50,000 lbs. This simple comparison speaks for itself: increased lifting capacity allows for faster and safer pole removal, preventing boom damage and personal injury.
Bending boom sections, premature winch line failures, bent sheave heads, and, in the worst-case scenario, failed rotation bearings are all common boom truck damages.
Due to this type of misuse, none of these repairs or damages are typically covered by truck warranties or insurance.
