POV: everyone stops to watch a guy extend a super long tel-o-pole
Hastings has a new tel-o-pole, and it's EXTRA long—50ft long, by popular request! This bad boy slides out as smooth as butter, and it's long enough to push the butter tray across a 50ft dining room table. This short was recorded at the 2025 Duke Energy Carolinas Lineman Rodeo.

Bulldog Pipe EZ-Find Tracerwire

One small design feature can make a big impact on time, efficiency, and long-term reliability in the field. That’s why Bulldog Pipe’s EZ-Find Tracewire Conduit is worth a closer look. This HDPE conduit comes with a tracer wire pre-installed along the crown, allowing for precise fault location and line detection without additional installation steps. It’s a simple idea that solves a real-world challenge—and it’s already making life easier for crews across the country.
