10 kV Hi-Pot Passed
Lab-tested to 10 kV for insulation quality. Not rated for live-line contact.
Electrical Safety
Hi-Pot Dielectric Test: Each SHOCKSTOP handle was independently
tested to 10,000 volts for 3 minutes with no breakdown or leakage, confirming high
dielectric integrity of the Kevlar® composite under controlled dry conditions.
Important Safety Information
The Hi-Pot test demonstrates insulation quality in a laboratory environment only.
It does not certify SHOCKSTOP for “live-line” work or for any contact with energized electrical systems.
SHOCKSTOP must never be used within the minimum approach distance of overhead power lines or energized circuits.
Always follow OSHA / IEC / local utility safety guidelines for electrical clearance and de-energization before cleaning operations near power lines.
Summary: The 10 kV Hi-Pot test verifies product quality—not operator safety in electrical contact scenarios. Maintain safe clearances at all times.
SHOCKSTOP : The Insulator Handle / Extension
SHOCKSTOP is the #1 SAFETY PRODUCT from REACH-iT!
KEVLAR Insulator Handle:
As well as minimizing your risk of electric shock, you can use SHOCKSTOP to extend any Reach-iT Pole by up to 5FT.
KEVLAR is an amazing material - it is incredibly light, very rigid, and totally non-conductive. That's why we chose to use Kevlar to make SHOCKSTOP - this 5ft extension weighs in at less than 1lb!
HOW IT WORKS:
SHOCKSTOP is a #8 section in the REACH-iT range. All PROFESSIONAL REACH-iT poles are 7 sections - so SHOCKSTOP is compatible with them all.
Open the top clamp of SHOCKSTOP
Slide SHOCKSTOP over the handle of your Reach-iT Pole to your desired position.
Adjust and close the clamp.
Your Operators' can use SHOCKSTOP as a handle over the main pole handle, or as an extension handle, overlapping at least 8" at the base of your pole handle.
You can store SHOCKSTOP on the pole, or separately, as it suits you.
SHOCKSTOP & CONNECT
Using REACH-IT CONNECT, you can use SHOCKSTOP with any Reach-iT pole even after pulling it apart to use less sections (for example, sections 5,4,3,2,1 of a WARRIOR, or PRO, or sections 4,3,2,1 of a MINI or TACTICAL).You can also CONNECT your SHOCKSTOP to a PLUS ABB extension pole.
Designed in accordance with the Reach-iT Rules - FASTER, BETTER, SAFER, this safety handle delivers universal protection and maximum useable functionality.
In particular, we chose to make SHOCKSTOP from KEVLAR instead of fiberglass (also non-conductive) to ensure the principles of lightweight, and rigid are at the core of our design - neither of which are delivered by using fiberglass.
SHOCKSTOP comes included in the TACTICAL ELITE and WARRIOR ELITE PACKS.
Invest in SHOCKSTOP for your work crews today - it will earn their respect, and it may save a life !
