Fire Mesh Installation
- The FMR-100™ has been created to tackle the challenge of installing firemesh on wood utility poles
- The job presently is completed by workers manually
- Designed to install the mesh faster and safer than the present technique completely wrapping poles from the bottom cross arm to the ground
- Automated cutting and stapling system
- Multi camera system for quality control
- Can install mesh both on vertical and horizontal poles
- Positioned by two workers or small ATV mounted lift
Line Spacer Installation
- Automates the installation of PLP CUSHION-GRIP® Twin Spacers
- The CSR-18™ is placed on the bundled conductor at the structure with a bucket truck or crane
- Travels along the span installing Twin Spacers at the spacing specified.
- The spacer is installed at precisely a right angle to the conductor and the bolt is torqued precisely as required
- QC data including torque specs, photos and locations are collected automatically
- Drastically improves safety, no conductor carts required

Keeping the Birds Safe For 20+ Years
Power Line Sentry of Wellington, Colorado, is a leader in designing quality wildlife mitigation products for true system reliability. The LineFly™, only from FulcrumAir, was designed with Power Line Sentry’s Hawk Eye™ Bird Flight Diverters in mind to ensure safe and efficient installation. Hawk Eye™ Bird Flight Diverters are expertly manufactured in a tent-like shape with reflective yellow prism bands and a 24-hour glow-in-the-dark white band for maximum visibility in all conditions. Evaluated and assessed for use on shield wire, OPGW, guy wire, and energized conductor (up to 240 kV), they can withstand 100 mph winds for sustained periods with a lifespan of up to 20 years, providing unmatched durability in some of the most extreme environments. In addition to Hawk Eye™ bird flight diverters, Power Line Sentry offers a complete line of other industry-leading wildlife mitigation product solutions for electrical utilities.
