Voltek Systems, developed by United Safety Incorporated, is a power line warning system designed to protect equipment from hazardous contact with overhead power lines. This innovative solution features customizable proximity alarms and range-limiting systems that effectively prevent accidental contact with overhead powerlines.
Electric fields (E-fields) surround power lines, and Voltek Systems measures the strength of these E-fields. It then converts this information into audible and visual signals, helping users maintain a safe distance from the power lines.
The system currently safeguards a variety of heavy machinery, including pipe layers, side booms, excavators, cranes, telehandler forklifts, and many other types of equipment.
