[RE-wrenches] top of pole with no galvy

[Dana]

Ditto I have replaced 3 of the Unirac top of pole thimbles with DP&W.

The Unirac ones were too light weight. However, I have not had to deal with
this in 4-5 years. 

Are the current TOP thimbles the same as 6-8 years ago? I spoke with Unirac
& they were kind of dismissive.

Bruce,
The very first time I saw UniRac's 'new' extruded aluminum hub at a show I
figured it would fail over time, and I was assured that it wouldn't. It did.

My best suggestion would be to talk with Jeff Randall at Solar Rackworks in
Albuquerque. He welcomes custom work and produces beautiful racks. He was
the VP and lead engineer at DP&W.

Hi All, 

I have a super particular customer who needs a small top-of-pole rack, but
will not accept anything but aluminum or stainless (or bronze or titanium or
. . ). No galvanized steel! Anyone have a lead on a rack manufacturer that
has all aluminum pole tops, like Unirac used to make?

Thanks.
