one system. more control.

The Hold Fast Rigging System combines a self-tailing winch and lowering bollard into one compact device, giving utility crews the ability to lift, lower, and tension loads using a single system.

Built for transformer work, pole replacements, tensioning, and difficult-access jobs where control and efficiency matter.

DESIGNED FOR THE WAY UTILITY CREWS WORK

Utility work often happens where large equipment can't easily go.

Backyards. Easements. Tight right-of-ways. Remote access locations.

The Hold Fast provides crews with a compact lifting, lowering, and tensioning solution that can be deployed directly on the pole, helping reduce equipment requirements while maintaining control of the load throughout the operation.

SIMPLIFY THE WORKFLOW. INCREASE CONTROL.

Utility crews don’t have time for complicated setups or multiple devices.

The Hold Fast system combines a winch and bollard into one unit—allowing crews to:

  • Pre-tension the line with the winch
  • Control the load on the bollard
  • Lift, position, and lower without switching devices

The result is smoother operation, better control, and a more efficient workflow from start to finish.
