LineWise ® Introduces Fork-Mounted Guard Arm for Telehandlers
The new Fork-Mounted Guard Arm from LineWise ® helps prevent conductors from falling into the right-of-way crossings . Designed to conveniently mount to the pallet forks on a telehandler , the Guard Arm provides a simple , yet effective safety measure to securely catch falling lines .
Featuring a 1,200-pound capacity , the LineWise Guard Arm has a 12-foot-wide span from tip to tip with the ears installed , allowing it to accommodate a variety of distribution lines . When not in use , the ears can be easily stowed on the unit to maintain a more compact profile . The Guard Arm also includes a cross roller with bearings to facilitate movement if a conductor lands on it .
The Guard Arm can be installed or detached in approximately 30 seconds with no adapter needed . A rear locking pin , which meets OSHA requirements , securely holds the unit in place on the forks .
