Pole gains are steel components that strengthen the crossarm-to-pole connection in utility applications without requiring cuts into the pole itself. Stamped from American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) 1018 steel with hot dip galvanized coating per American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Specification A153, they provide corrosion resistance for outdoor use.
The gains eliminate the need for crossarm braces and traditional pole gaining, creating a cleaner structural profile while accommodating multiple crossarm materials including fiberglass, wood, steel channel, and steel tubular arms. This design flexibility supports braceless crossarm configurations that improve functionality in power distribution systems.
Standard dimensions measure 5-1/4 inches by 4 inches, with pole mounting slots of 13/16 inches (top) and 11/16 inches (bottom) width to fit pole diameters from 6 to 12 inches. Arm mounting slots are 9/16 inches by 1-1/2 inches, accommodating crossarms from 4-1/2 to 6 inches. Catalog number J4060 ships in cartons of 25 units weighing 32 pounds, with a per-100-unit weight of 140 pounds.
Pole Gain Wholesaler in Innovative Design
RaxPower offers a wide variety of aluminum, ductile iron, and steel gains for your power and utility needs. Our product range includes:
- Braceless crossarm gains
- Grid gains

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
What is a pole gain and what is its primary purpose?
Pole gains enhance the stability of the crossarm and pole interface. They are used where it is not possible or desirable to cut a gain in the pole, providing a secure and reliable attachment that improves structural integrity and serves as an alternative to cutting gains directly into the pole.
What are the main benefits of using pole gains?
The benefits include enhanced stability, a braceless design that eliminates the need for crossarm braces, improved structure appearance, and compatibility with various arm materials such as fiberglass, wood, steel channel, or steel tubular arms.
What materials and protective coatings are used in pole gains?
Pole gains are stamped from AISI 1018 steel and hot-dip galvanized to meet ASTM Specification A153, offering excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability in harsh environments.
What pole diameters and dimensions are compatible with pole gains?
Pole gains accommodate pole diameters from 6 inches to 12 inches. Standard dimensions include 5-1/4 inches by 4 inches, with pole mounting slots that are 13/16 inches wide on top and 11/16 inches wide on bottom. Various configurations are available to suit different utility needs.
What are the packaging options and weight specifications?
Pole gains are packaged with a standard pack quantity of 25 units per carton, carton weight of 32 pounds, and a weight per 100 pieces of 140 pounds, facilitating easy handling and efficient bulk orders for projects.
