The Longhorn Folding Guard Arm from LineWise is a versatile attachment for boom trucks, digger derricks and various cranes, designed to protect highways, railroads and other crossings during conductor installation, repair and maintenance. When a conductor or pulling rope droops too low, the guard arm helps to keep the travel route below the work clear, protecting people and traffic.

Line crews have long relied on makeshift guard structures at crossings, such as goalpost-style structures built on-site, wooden poles strapped across telehandler forks, and bucket trucks fitted with lumber or pipe. These methods take time to build and remove, are not load rated, can damage equipment and have caused accidents. The Longhorn Folding Guard Arm is designed and engineered with load ratings, prevents damage to bucket trucks, and protects people and traffic below conductors.

Setting up the guard arm takes less than 15 minutes, which is much faster than traditional methods. With this time savings, the unit can pay for itself within its first eight uses compared to building a goalpost-style guard structure.

The guard arm weighs 370 pounds and has a 1,000-pound load capacity. Its foldable design allows for easy transport and storage. https://line-wise.com
