Defective Utility Pole Tags

Many overhead utility lines are carried on wooden utility poles. As a natural material exposed to the elements, wooden utility poles are subject to decay, especially below the ground line. Wooden utility poles are regularly inspected by public and municipal utility companies and investor owned utilities (IOU’s) to assess the wear and decay of the poles to ensure the safety of utility pole linemen and technicians.

Defective utility pole markers are just one of the many options LEM Products, Inc is proud to offer. LEM defective utility pole tags are designed to clearly indicate the condition of utility poles in the field through the use of industry standard symbols. Our defective utility pole marking tags are available in the 3 standard industry legends.
