SpanGUARD Rovel ABS - Applications

APPLICATION

The FAA recommends that 36" markers be used on high, hazardous river crossings. Smaller 20" markers are permitted on less extensive power lines or on lines in approaches to airports below 50 feet. Each marker should be a solid color: aviation orange, white, or yellow with alternating colors.

PREFORM ATTACHMENT

The secret of the SpanGUARD is its unique construction and method of attachment. SpanGUARDs are fastened to the conductor by means of spiral formed armor rods. These spiral rods actually reinforce the conductor at the point of attachment and are completely slip-proof. They are designed to protect the conductor. SpanGUARDs can be installed in a matter of minutes without special tools.

BETTER COLOR RETENTION

SpanGUARDs are the best power line markers on the market. Each marker is constructed of Rovel ABS, a material that has 10 times the weatherability and color retention of fiberglass. Rovel ABS is much more durable, and unlike fiberglass, will not crack if struck by gunshots. SpanGUARDs are available in three colors: International Orange, White and Yellow.

SpanBRITE OPTION

Reflective tape can be installed on the markers to make markers more visible at night from helicopters and small planes.  The flashing lights of the aircraft make the light reflected from the marker visible to the pilot.
