(Sponsored Content) -- For over 50 years, Allied Safety Systems Inc., doing business as Sigalarm, has been at the forefront of designing, manufacturing and distributing reliable high voltage (HV) power line warning systems. These systems are built to provide repeatable performance and are trusted by safety-conscious companies worldwide to mitigate the risks of contact with overhead power lines.
Proven Reliability Since 1974
As early as August 1974, Sigalarm's systems were recognized for their exceptional performance. According to the Grove Engineering Department: “The repeatability of the device was excellent,” and “The Sigalarm consistently actuated its signal when approaching a high-tension wire from directly below and when swung horizontally.”
Addressing a Leading Hazard in Construction
Contact with overhead HV power lines remains a top cause of accidents, injuries and fatalities across many industries, including construction and the mobile elevated work platform (MEWP) sector. When equipment manufacturers do not integrate power line safety solutions, the responsibility often falls to third-party providers like Sigalarm to fill the gap.
Sigalarm’s warning systems are essential tools for reducing these risks. Industry leaders recognize the importance of proactively incorporating such systems into their equipment. Many of the world’s largest construction and safety companies rely on Sigalarm to ensure compliance and maintain safety, even when no formal requirements mandate their use. Doing the bare minimum is sometimes just not good enough.
Regulatory Momentum and Technological Innovation
Consumer demand for enhanced power line safety measures is driving regulatory progress and innovation. For instance, the European Union recently adopted Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, requiring all mobile machinery sold in the EU to be equipped with a power line warning system by Jan.14, 2027. The regulation specifies:
This regulatory shift highlights the global move toward prioritizing worker safety in high-risk environments, pushing manufacturers to adopt advanced safety technologies.
Introducing SIG-LITE: Award-Winning Innovation
Sigalarm continues to lead the way with the SIG-LITE, a groundbreaking power line warning device designed for rugged use in industries such as aerial lifts. Recognized with the “Technology Innovation of the Year” award at the Working at Heights Conference in Nashville, SIG-LITE represents the culmination of decades of proven reliability and innovation.
Supporting Safer Workplaces
As the construction industry embraces these advancements, companies that prioritize safety will gain a competitive edge. Sigalarm’s products are a testament to the importance of proactive safety measures, helping to prevent accidents and protect lives.
Other News
In addition to the existing product line of power line warning systems Sigalarm is in discussions with large equipment manufacturers to incorporate our proven power line sensor technology via Canbus output directly to the manufacturer's in-cab displays. By working with equipment manufacturers like these directly we can reduce costs and streamline the data to the operator via existing software and hardware. Ask your equipment supplier today if they provide power line protection, if not contact us.
