Today we are going to show you the HitchMate StabiLoad support for cargo stabilizer bars, part number HE4017. The StabiLoad support is designed to attach to HitchMate cargo stabilizer bars and prevents your load from moving side to side behind the bar. It is compatible with both the full size and compact size cargo stabilizer bars, part numbers HE4016 and HE4015. Like the cargo stabilizer bars, the StabiLoad support is covered by a one year limited warranty. To install the StabiLoad support, all we have to do is set it on top of our cargo stabilizer bar, slide it against our load and use the set screws to clamp it down tight. Once we have it clamped down tight, our cooler cannot go anywhere. And that does it for the HitchMate StabiLoad support for cargo stabilizer bars, part number HE4017.
I’ve never seen suspension insulators up close before so was a bit confused as to why there’s so much metal in-between the glass (porcelain, ceramic?) discs? Obviously for strength since the high tension wires are heavy and create a lot of stress. Nevertheless, how do these things insulate so well – especially in wet weather?? I’ll research the matter further and try to post an answer here.
This particular video recording in near the Valmont power generating facility in Boulder, Colorado. I believe the lines, in question, supply 230,000 volts but I’ll have to double-check that as well. The insulators were lying on the ground immediately adjacent the Boulder Creek bike path.
