We act solely as an authorized product distributor. We are not the manufacturer of these products. Full manufacturing details, including origin are provided within the kit contents and accompanying documentation.

Due to the safety-critical nature and limited lifespan of the harness components—specifically the manufacturing date and expiry period of the harness—all harness kits are manufactured strictly per order. This ensures that each kit is delivered with the maximum allowable service life and full traceability. Lead times for production may vary between 3 to 14 working days, depending on current manufacturing capacity and product line demand.

While our kit has not received explicit written approval from Eskom, it is important to highlight that we manufacture our POWERLINES KIT (9.08A) in full compliance with Eskom’s specifications. The POWERLINES KIT (9.08A) meets all specified requirements, whereas the more economical CONTRACTORS KIT (9.08) utilizes steel components instead of the mandated aluminium.
