By using an innovative adapter plate with a large selection of fastener
types, the Stake Grabber™ Crossarm can be attached to virtually any
steel or wood stake being used for trellising today. The Stake Grabber™ allows for a greater versatility of angles and configurations than any other crossarm on the market.
This crossarm's strength and rigidity, even when used in off center mountings, is due to its unique rolled profile. It uses the same amount of steel as a standard crossarm but by rolling the edges, its strength is greatly increased. The rolled edges facilitate fastening it to the stake and a uniquely secure angled wire slot.
The new universal wire notch controls the direction of tension. The rolled edge of the Stake Grabber™ crossarm allows for an
exceptionally secure and easy to use wire slot. The wire slots are cut into the top of the crossarm at a diagonal for easy insertion and releaseof movable wires. The universal notch allows for both inward and outward tension. As many as four slots can be cut into the crossarm. The Stakegrabber™ crossarm is suitable for both vineyard and orchard trellises.
The Stake Grabber™ is delivered with a special connecting plate that
has an anti-rotation slot that rigidly holds the edge of the grapestake
and grips tightly around the crossarm to make a connection that
eliminates rotation.
Quiedan manufactures a line of miniature crossarm Pinch Clips for use
in vertical trellis systems.
The patented vertical trellis Pinch Clip™ is your best choice in movable wire
miniature crossarms. It is available in four sizes and two of the clips have special
notches for hillside trellis environments (3.25" and 6" sizes).
The sheet metal screw is used on stakes manufactured by Quiedan that are
prepunched to accept the screw. This is a very fast, low cost solution. When
using a sheet metal screw, installers can use air or battery powered screw
shooters (fast drills with a clutch) and magnetic sockets.
The self drill screw is used in stakes with no pre-punched holes. This is an
inexpensive, fairly quick installation.
The headed bolt costs a few cents more than the screws, but is a very quick
installation due to the single nut system. Quiedan supplies a Heavy Hex nut that
is larger than a standard hex nut. This nut provides a larger area for fastening
and is easier to handle in the field. Headed bolts are made for all rollformed
grapestakes, extensions and studded tee posts.
Quiedan also manufactures a line of Pinch Clips for wood stakes, and has
custom manufactured clips for customers.
