Founded in 1947 as a partnership by Fred G. Hogg and Willard
W. Davis, the company has been designing and building specialized
products for the construction of telephone and power lines for fifty
years.
Incorporated in 1959, the company is still family owned, with second
and third generations managing operations.
After forty-four years in Southern California, the company relocated
to Odell, Oregon in 1991, where it currently occupies a 50,000
sq. ft. facility located on 5.65 acres in the John Weber Industrial
Park.
The original product manufactured by the company was the Safety
Pole Tongs, that are still produced on a regular basis today.
From that beginning, the product line has grown to a wide variety
of line construction tools
and specialized trailers.

Safety Pole Tongs - our original product.

Our products are used by telephone and electrical utility companies,
municipalities and contractors in many parts of the world.
The Company was the first to design and introduce a self-loading,
self-propelled cable reel trailer that was fully operational by one
man. This unit also featured the first practical use of friction drive
as the pulling force, creating up to 20,000 pounds line pull.
Later models refined the process and produced more than 40,000 pounds
line pull. The power, maneuverability and ease of operation of these
units quickly established them as standards for many of the largest
utilities in the nation.
The latest models of these units, the HYDRA
985 and the HP
6500 are in current production.
