Crossarm or machine bolts are used in the pole line industry. They have square heads and a semi-cone point and typically come with a square nut assembled. They are also typically hot-dip galvanized in order to protect the steel. We can manufacture crossarm bolts up to 1-1/2″ in diameter. Crossarm bolts follow the thread length guidelines used for pole line fasteners. More information about machine bolts is available on our educational microsite polelinefasteners.com.
