The Only Remote, Automated Hot Stick

Rotary Hot Stick Operator

Automate the process of opening/closing rotary vault switches with an insulating hot stick and eliminate the need for personnel to manually perform this risky procedure while straddling the vault opening.

For use by field technicians to remotely open or close electrical load break switches. Linear LHSO version is also available.

The RHSO is suitable for use with equipment like Load Break Oil Rotary (LBOR) switches. These switches provide making or breaking of specified currents and are typically installed in manholes and underground or sidewalk vaults, where they are subject to moisture, particulates, corrosive materials, and a wide range of temperatures. Workers in this environment are exposed to critical safety hazards, especially when dealing with older underground infrastructure and equipment.

The Rotary Hot Stick Operator uses a rugged fiberglass tripod to center a rotary apparatus over the vault. A precision, motorized clamp assembly rotates the hot stick, which is attached to an eyelet in order to open or close the switch contacts. The RHSO is designed for standalone local operation and is powered by AA alkaline batteries. United States Patent 7,825,344.
