Why TwisTarp?

Linemen work with loads daily that can weigh hundreds to thousands of pounds. Why should they have to move it manually?

Used correctly, a TWISTARP helps eliminate awkward work positions and high repetitive forces. No more bending over to shovel dirt or making trips up and down ditches. It does the heavy lifting for you, meaning less strains and sprains, physical exhaustion, and lost time from dangerous accidents.

Trust us, we’ve done the math! To show you just how much we can help, we’ve provided a table of weights for common loads that linemen work with:

Average WT. of Yellow Pine Pole
Average WT. of Dirt from Hole
WT. of Dirt Calculated from Pile Size
30' CL 5 = 690 lbs
5' Depth x 16" Diameter
= 900 lbs
12" Wide x 6" High = 13 lbs
35' CL 5 = 880 lbs
6' Depth x 18" Diameter
= 1380 lbs
24" Wide x 12" High = 105 lbs
40' CL 4 = 1261 lbs
6' Depth x 20" Diameter 
= 1680 lbs
36" Wide x 18" High = 350 lbs
45' CL 3 = 1758 lbs
6' 6" Depth x 20" Diameter 
= 1820 lbs
42" Wide x 21" High = 560 lbs
50' CL 3 = 1925 lbs
7' Depth x 20" Diameter 
= 1960 lbs
48" Wide x 24" High = 840 lbs
60' CL 2 = 3252 lbs
8' Depth x 24" Diameter 
= 3200 lbs
