Expanding or Cross-Plate Anchor Rod with Single Eye, 0.5 in x 5 ft

The Plate Anchor Rod is a foundational component used in power line construction to provide secure anchorage for guy wires supporting poles and towers. Engineered from high-strength galvanized steel, the rod is welded to a broad anchor plate that delivers superior load resistance by distributing tension forces into the surrounding soil. Ideal for transmission and distribution lines, it ensures structural stability in varied terrain and soil conditions.

Key Features:

  • Material: Hot-dip galvanized steel for corrosion resistance
  • Anchor Plate: Welded square or round plate for enhanced holding capacity
  • Rod Diameters: Typically available in 5/8″, 3/4″, 1″, and custom sizes
  • Lengths: Standard lengths from 5 to 10 feet (custom lengths on request)
  • Threaded End: Compatible with standard eye nuts or thimbles
  • Installation: Designed for direct burial with mechanical or hand-driven tools
  • Standards: Meets ASTM A123 and ANSI C135.1 specifications
  • Ideal for securing overhead line structures in utility, telecom, and energy infrastructure projects.
