Product Description
Guy wire is a concentric-lay stranded steel wire that uses tension to secures structures such as Transmission Towers & Distribution Utility Poles, Telecommunications lines & towers, Radio masts, Wind turbines, Traffic & Railway signals, to name a few. Guy wire has several names, including guy strand wire, power line guy wire, guy rope, and guy line.
Application
Guy strand wires are connected, on one end, to the vertical structure they are intending to secure and the other end is attached to an anchor that is drilled into the ground. Their strength to weight ratio makes it ideal for supporting large structures to the ground. The process is called “guying” where the wire holds the vertical structure with stability, making an angle between the structure and the ground.
Advantages
Guy wires are known to provide advanced safety and quality to secure large structures. Their advantages are as follows –
1. Corrosion Resistance – Our galvanized steel wire provide high-quality zinc-aluminum alloy coasting that prevents oxidation.
2. Stability & Strength – With options of 3, 7 and 19 strands, Guy wires are incredibly strong and can be relied upon to withstand high speed winds and resist snapping.
3. Durability – GIven its stability, strength and corrosion resistant nature, Guy Wires are built to stand the test of times.
