Ishubhu likanxantathu le-telescoping hot stick lilula kakhulu kumuntu osebenza nge-lineman ngoba limvumela ukuthi enze imisebenzi eminingi ejwayelekile kusukela phansi. Ukufakwa kwe-universal end engxenyeni ephezulu evalekile kwamukela izinhlobo eziningi zokunamathisela, ngakho umuntu osebenza nge-lineman anganqamula izinkinobho, ashintshe amashubhu okusika bese evala kabusha, asuse izembozo zezinsika, ashintshe ama-bulb futhi aqedele eminye imisebenzi eminingi engenhla. Isigaba seshubhu likanxantathu siboniswe njengezithombe ezingezansi, i-arc ecishe ibe ngunxantathu iyisimo esikhululekile kakhulu sokubamba ngesandla. Isimo esicishe sibe ngunxantathu singagwema ukushelela kwe-axial ngesikhathi sokusebenza kwe-torsional. Uma kuqhathaniswa neshubhu eliyindilinga lendabuko, lizinzile kakhulu, kulula ukulixhuma engxenyeni yokusebenza futhi kulula ukusebenza.
