Product Description

We can’t believe jerry-rigged wooden or conductive metal cable trees were used for so long to keep dangerous electric cables elevated away from human contact. Those cord trees are made with conductive metal and wood (which conducts electricity when wet). That defeats the whole purpose of a cord or cable tower tree

We carefully innovated our Portable Electric Cable Support Tower to solve this problem and keep workers safe. NEC codes and OSHA regulations require all electric cables, cords, and hoses to be elevated away from possible human contact on a job site, preventing electric shock or tripping hazards. Extension cords in particular are a concern. They also cannot be laid directly on the ground, must be inspected before every use for damage, need to be properly grounded and rated for the intended load, and must be only a temporary power solution. Your company could be subject to substantial fines and lawsuits for not complying with these regulations, ranging from $16,131 to $161,131 per violation, depending on the severity and whether it’s a repeat violation (See OSHA regulations 29 CFR 1910.334(c)(3) and 29 CFR 1926.405(j)(1)(v)).

Our 100% American recycled rubber PECST is a one-of-a-kind innovated alternative to building your own wooden cable trees. You won’t find it anywhere else. Our PECSTs are so easy to install your grandparents could do it (though we don’t recommend that), and are just as easy to remove and relocate. They also won’t chip, warp, or spall in either the searing summer sun or the frigid cold of North American winters. They’ll withstand wind, rain, ice, or snow, and last for decades, reused at jobsite after jobsite.

Keep your workers safe because you can. It’s the right thing to do.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

What are the dimensions of your Portable Electric Cable Support Tower (cord trees)?

Our PECST base weighs 75 lbs. and is 23” in diameter with a 6” height for the standard model. The heavy-duty model base weighs 150 lbs. and is 23” in diameter and 20” total in height. The telescoping pole is 2” in diameter and can reach up to 10 ft. in height on both models.

Why do I need a Portable Electric Cable Support Tower?

NEC codes and OSHA regulations require all electric cables, cords, and hoses to be elevated away from possible human contact on a job site, preventing electric shock or tripping hazards. Your company could be subject to substantial fines and lawsuits for not complying with these regulations, ranging from $16,131 to $161,131 per violation, depending on the severity and whether it’s a repeat violation (see OSHA regulations 29 CFR 1910.334(c)(3) and 29 CFR 1926.405(j)(1)(v)).

Can’t I just build my own wooden cable towers onsite?

Jury-rigged towers are time-consuming to construct and spend expensive labor hours on something that’s disposable and likely single-use. They’re difficult to relocate or reuse, and of course, made of wood, which conducts electricity when wet. The nails or nuts and bolts used will also conduct electricity, which defeats the whole purpose of cable safety. Jerry-built towers are disposable and will need to be rebuilt at every site. Our cable support towers are purchased once and can be used over and over again at job after job.

Will your cable support towers conduct electricity?

No. The weight base is made of recycled scrap tire rubber, the telescoping poles are made of FRP – Fiberglass Reinforced Post – Pultruded fiberglass, the antlers are safety yellow HDPE plastic and the mounting slip sleeve is plastic. We do use a metal safety D Ring to hold the post in position when raised so the post will not slam down when weight is added, but it is surrounded by nonconductive fiberglass.

How many cable support towers will I need?

We recommend spacing our PECSTs 10 feet apart at close to maximum height or load. Take your total run of power cables and divide by 10 to get an approximation of the number of towers you’ll need. Lighter loads could be spaced farther apart.

How much weight will your cable support hold?

We’ve tested both standard and heavy-duty towers to hold up to 100 pounds per antler. The heavy-duty base is especially useful for extra stability if you plan on loading close to the limit or extending the pole close to its max height.

Are your Portable Electric Cable Support Towers truly made in the USA?

We are the only true U.S. manufacturer of recycled material cable towers (or cord trees). We source all our recycled materials domestically, which means we're helping clean up our backyard. We also design and manufacture all our products right here in Western New York, because we believe in American ingenuity and hardworking American hands.
