Ityhubhu yenxantathu ye-telescoping hot stick ilula kakhulu kumqhubi we-lineman kuba ivumela ukuba enze imisebenzi emininzi eqhelekileyo ukusuka kumgangatho womhlaba. Ukufakelwa kwesiphelo se-universal kwicandelo eliphezulu eligqunyiweyo kwamkela iintlobo ngeentlobo zeziqhoboshelo, ngoko ke i-lineman inokuqhawula iiswitshi, itshintshe iityhubhu zokusika kwaye ivale kwakhona, isuse izigqubuthelo zeepali, itshintshe iibhalbhu kwaye igqibezele eminye imisebenzi emininzi engaphezulu. Icandelo letyhubhu yenxantathu liboniswe njengemifanekiso engezantsi, i-arc yenxantathu esondeleyo yeyona milo ikhululekileyo yokubamba ngesandla. Imilo yenxantathu emalunga nenxantathu inokukuphepha ukutyibilika kwe-axial ngexesha lokusebenza kwe-torsional. Xa kuthelekiswa netyhubhu yesiqhelo ejikelezileyo, izinzile ngakumbi, kulula ukuyidibanisa nenxalenye yokusebenza kwaye kulula ukuyisebenzisa.
