Transmission cross arm

Product Description

Specification:

A cross arm is provided, for use in a support structure for conductors within an electrical grid. 

Cross arm coming with many sizes including 4ft, 6ft, 8ft and so on.

Some places need cross arm coming with welded parts.


What Is a Steel Cross Arm?

steel cross arm is a horizontal structural member mounted on a utility pole, transmission tower, or distribution pole to support electrical conductors, insulators, and associated hardware. It maintains safe phase-to-phase spacing between overhead conductors, prevents electrical faults, and provides the mechanical load-bearing anchor point for the entire overhead line assembly.

Also commonly referred to as an electrical cross arm, power pole cross arm, utility pole cross arm, or telephone pole cross arm, this component is one of the most critical pieces of pole line hardware in any overhead power or telecom network.

At Yipeng, we manufacture transmission cross arms and distribution cross arms from high-tensile structural steel, processed with full hot-dip galvanization for long-term corrosion resistance in outdoor environments across tropical, temperate, and coastal regions.


Material & Surface Treatment

Hot-Dip Galvanization (HDG)

All Yipeng electrical cross arms are finished by full-immersion hot-dip galvanization — not electro-galvanization or spray coating. The HDG process forms a metallurgically bonded zinc-iron alloy layer that provides:

  • Long-term corrosion resistance — 30+ years expected service life in typical outdoor conditions

  • Full coverage on internal surfaces, holes, cut edges, and weld seams — areas spray coatings cannot fully protect

  • Self-healing properties — the zinc sacrificial layer protects exposed base steel at cut edges or minor abrasions

  • Compliance with ISO 1461 and BS EN ISO 1461; third-party inspection available on request (SGS, BV, TÜV)


Applications of Electrical Cross Arms

Transmission cross arms and distribution cross arms from Yipeng are deployed across a wide range of overhead network infrastructure:

  • Medium-voltage distribution lines (11kV, 22kV, 33kV) — supporting pin insulators and suspension insulators on wooden poles, concrete poles, and steel poles

  • High-voltage transmission lines (66kV–220kV) — V-type and heavy-section cross arms supporting strain insulators at tension and angle towers

  • Rural electrification projects — standard angle cross arms for cost-effective distribution line construction

  • Urban and suburban distribution networks — compact cross arm configurations for higher conductor density

  • Telecom and fiber infrastructure — cross arms adapted for ADSS/OPGW cable support on shared utility poles

  • Railway traction power lines — heavy-duty cross arms for electrified rail overhead contact systems

  • Street lighting infrastructure — bracket-style cross arms supporting luminaire mounting

Our steel cross arms have been exported to projects in Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and South America, accommodating local utility standards including IEC, BS 1553, ANSI/NESC, and AS/NZS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What standard sizes do your steel cross arms come in? 

A: Our most commonly stocked sizes are 4ft (1200mm), 6ft (1800mm), and 8ft (2400mm) in standard angle configurations. 10ft and 12ft are available on order. All lengths can be produced in custom dimensions per your drawing.

Q: Can you supply cross arms compliant with BS, IEC, or ANSI standards? 

A: Yes. We have supplied cross arms to projects under BS 1553, IEC 60652, ANSI C135, and AS/NZS standards. Please advise the applicable standard and your utility's material specification when inquiring.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)? 

A: MOQ varies by product type and customization level. For standard angle cross arms, MOQ is typically 1 ton. For fully custom welded assemblies, MOQ is discussed on a project basis. Sample orders are accepted.

Q: Can you supply a complete cross arm hardware kit? 

A: Yes. Yipeng can supply electrical cross arms together with the associated mounting hardware — arming bolts, through-bolts, U-bolts, washers, locknuts, and insulator pins — as a complete kit, reducing your sourcing complexity.

Q: Do you accept third-party inspection? 

A: Yes, we welcome SGS, Bureau Veritas (BV), TÜV, or client-nominated inspectors at our facility. Inspection arrangements can be coordinated during order confirmation.

Q: What is the typical delivery time?

 A: For standard products: 15–25 days. For custom welded cross arm assemblies: 25–35 days depending on volume. Rush production is discussable for urgent project needs.
