Overview
What Are Telephone Pole Tags?
Telephone pole tags are durable identification markers attached to telephone and utility poles. These tags assist with asset tracking, inspections, and maintenance by providing information such as pole numbers, service records, or geographical data.
Telephone and utility pole tags are made from various metals and can withstand harsh weather conditions for long-term use. Some tags feature embossed or barcode designs to ensure easy readability, even in rugged environments.
Benefits
Benefits of Using Metal Telephone Pole Tags
Choosing quality telephone pole tags can give you these valuable benefits:
- Durability: Metal tags withstand harsh environmental conditions, including extreme weather and corrosion.
- Clear Identification: Customizable with embossed or engraved information, metal tags ensure high visibility and readability.
- Low Maintenance: These tags require minimal upkeep, reducing long-term maintenance costs and efforts.
- Improved Asset Management: Metal tags allow for easy tracking of utility poles, improving efficiency in inspections and repairs.
- Tamper Resistance: Metal construction provides security against tampering or vandalism.
APPLICATIONS
Inspections
We provide an essential part of utility pole inspections for utility companies – the identification.
Power poles are inspected regularly for safety and inventory purposes.
Identification tags provide inspectors with all the relevant information they need to accurately and efficiently document for the inspection.
Our anti-corrosion utility pole tags are relied upon for safety inspections spanning many industries. From power line poles to energy valves, we cover it all.
Asset Management
We frequently produce serialized number tags for telephone pole asset tracking. Sequential numbers are one of the most common methods to mark and track your poles.
Our embossed power pole tags are easy to read even if they get dirty or painted over which makes these a great solution for reliable utility asset management.
Another form of asset tracking that we often see is barcode tracking. Some telecommunications companies prefer to add a QR, data matrix, or barcode to their pole markers.
Our barcode and QR code tags provide telecom workers with the ability to store and access information right on the pole via a quick scan.
Data stored on the tag can include:
- Condition of the pole
- Last service or inspection
- Geographic coordinates (location)
With so many benefits, it is easy to see why barcode pole tags are often the preferred choice by inspectors for better readability.
MATERIALS
Material choice is important when selecting a tag or nameplate solution. We provide our customers with high-quality materials that fit best for their application.
Telephone pole tags are subject to years of wear and tear from weather, use, and abrasions. This means a durable material is essential.
A few examples of our material options include:
- Stainless Steel
- Anodized Aluminum
- Brass
PROCESSES
Embossing
When it comes to utility pole marking, durability is the name of the game. With poles out in the elements day and night, any identification solution must be very durable.
Our embossed tags are created using a die set, which raises characters upward in the metal. Since there is no topical ink on the tag, there is nothing to fade or wash off.
Serialized Embossing
This high durability makes embossed tags one of our most used processes for pole identification. These are most commonly used for serialized number tagging.
Serialized embossing involves stamping unique, sequential numbers or codes onto metal tags, providing a durable and tamper-resistant way to identify individual assets.
erialized embossing ensures each pole can be uniquely tracked and referenced for telephone pole tags, aiding in maintenance, inspections, and recordkeeping. The raised characters resist wear and remain legible even in harsh conditions, making it an ideal solution for long-term infrastructure management in the utility sector.
Photo Anodization
Need to add more than just a number? Our photo anodized tags are an outstanding solution.
These nameplates are fully customizable with any information, design, or codes.
Examples of data commonly used on these tags:
- Servicing Number
- Location Info
- Company Logo
- QR/Data Matrix Codes
In addition to customization, photo anodization is incredibly durable. Rated for 20+ years outdoors, these plates are more than capable of withstanding the elements.
