In the demanding world of construction, reliable power delivery is critical to keeping projects on schedule and ensuring worker safety. Kord King, a leading U.S.-based manufacturer of premium power cords since 1980, provides heavy-duty and industrial-grade cord sets that are purpose-built for the rugged conditions of construction sites.
Based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Kord King’s UL-listed and CSA-approved power cords, including extension cords and custom solutions, meet the industry’s stringent requirements for durability, safety, and performance. Here’s how Kord King’s power cords support construction operations.
Durability for Harsh Construction Environments
Construction sites are tough on equipment, with exposure to dust, debris, and extreme weather. Kord King’s Heavy Duty extension cords, are designed to withstand these challenges. Featuring molded strain relief shrouds and deeply contoured ridges for a non-slip grip, these cords resist wear in high-traffic areas like construction sites, machine shops, and warehouses.
Safety Compliance for Construction Standards
Safety is paramount in construction, where electrical hazards can lead to serious injuries or delays. Kord King’s power cords meet UL 817 and CAN/CSA C22.2 standards, ensuring compliance with rigorous safety regulations. Their construction-grade extension cords, available in various lengths and configurations like NEMA 5-15P or L5-20P twist-lock plugs, are 100% electrically tested and visually inspected before shipping. This reliability is crucial for powering tools like drills, welders, or temporary lighting, reducing the risk of electrical faults and ensuring compliance with OSHA standards on construction sites.
Custom Solutions for Construction Needs
Every construction project has unique power requirements, from temporary power setups to specialized equipment. Kord King excels in custom power cord manufacturing, offering tailored solutions, such as GFCIs and Tri-Taps. Our GFCIs play a crucial role in the construction industry by preventing electrical shocks and fires caused by accidental contact with electricity. By quickly cutting off the power when a fault is detected, GFCIs ensure a safer environment for workers and reduces the risk of accidents. Additionally, a Tri-Tap is essential on a construction site because it allows you to connect up to three power tools to a single extension cord. This is particularly useful where multiple tools are often used simultaneously, reducing cord clutter and the need for multiple extension cords, making the workspace safer and more organized. With rapid turnaround times and a commitment to quality, Kord King supports contractors in meeting tight project deadlines without compromising performance.
