Red and Black Tiger Tails

Tiger Tails are available in two colour varieties. Red and black as well as the traditional yellow and black.

 

Tiger Tails have become an integral part of overhead powerline safety due to their robust nature, quality and hardy design and importantly, their unique high visibility yellow/black stripe. In more recent years, a red and black stripe has become available due to demand from the Network Operators for a pipe that can be used for PPE to distinguish from the yellow and black pipe. This allows operators to keep the yellow and black pipe for visual warning only around construction sites, while keeping the red and black to be used during overhead line maintenance as PPE. The red and black is then tested periodically to ensure it maintains its electrical insulation components and treated to different internal regimes and practices than its yellow and black counterparts.
