Transmission Tower Signs

Transmission tower signs protect your workers and the public by clearly communicating high-voltage hazards on electrical transmission structures. Whether you need standard “DANGER – KEEP OFF” signs, ANSI-compliant warning placards, or custom signs with your company name and permit information, Tech Products builds them to last decades in the harshest outdoor conditions.

Our transmission tower signs are manufactured using EVERLAST injection-molded polypropylene and Tech-3D embossed aluminum, both proven to withstand saltwater, acid rain, groundwater, chemicals, and UV exposure. UL tested with 40 years and no change in legibility, these signs are trusted by electric utilities across the country for transmission line, substation, and distribution infrastructure.

EVERLAST Injection Molded Signs

EVERLAST signs are injection molded from solid polypropylene at a full 1/4″ thick. The letters go completely through the sign rather than being printed or painted on the surface, which means they cannot be scratched off, worn away, or faded by UV exposure. These signs have been UL tested by Underwriters Laboratories with 40 years and no change in performance.

EVERLAST signs are available in stock and ready to ship in the following materials and expected service life:

Material Legibility Method Expected Life
Polypropylene (Orange/Yellow) Black Characters 40+ Years
Aluminum Foil 40+ Years
Stainless Steel Foil 40+ Years
Fiberglass Foil 30+ Years
Polyethylene Engraved 20+ Years

  1. Select your format: Choose between ANSI and OSHA standard layouts. Our team can advise on which standard applies to your application.
  2. Select your wording: Tell us what you need the sign to say, and our art department will lay out the text for you.
  3. Include your company name and logo: Add your branding for clear ownership identification on shared or public structures.
  4. Select a graphic: Choose from over 200 pictorial graphics in our library, or have our art department create a new one for your project.

For pipeline marking applications, we recommend including your permit information or “SEE LOGO” designation. If you are unsure of your pipeline number, our team can help you find it.

UL testing confirmed 40 years with no change in legibility, and our signs are in service on transmission lines, substations, and distribution structures across the country.
