Right? Newark&#8217;s PSEG says they do.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9504\" style=\"width: 295px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9504\" class=\"wp-image-9504 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lasertech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Downed_Power_line_Clearance.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"285\" height=\"185\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9504\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laser Tech Rangefinders can help avoid power line clearance issues<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Well\u00a0someone failed to mention this to a driver working for ABF Freight while driving in a residential area apparently lost. An\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">online news feature from News 12 New Jersey<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0documented a prime example of how this happens. Obviously unaware of the height of his trailer versus the sagging power lines, the driver entangled the trailer with the power lines knocking down poles and cutting electricity to the surrounding area! I read about something like this every week!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">PSEG bemoaned the fact it would take a full-day to repair the damage but highly suspect ABF New Jersey will get the bill. Nobody was hurt and as far as damage goes it&#8217;s probably minor comparatively speaking. That said though, it all could have easily been prevented.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">To know the height of his trailer and height of the power lines, use the\u00a0TruPulse\u00a0360 vertical distance mode &amp; known instrument height to measure the heights, especially on level ground. To know the length &amp; height of the trailer, use the missing line routine in the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lasertech.com\/product\/trupulse-360\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">TruPulse 360 laser rangefinder<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">. Then one can measure the height to the power lines with the build-in height routine. This 3 shot routine takes less than 15 seconds and will let you know immediately if you will clear the lines or not!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Having a\u00a0TruPulse\u00a0360 at your disposal (fits easily into a vest pocket) eliminates rough estimates or just plain guessing. Not having this instant verification essentially is rolling the dice. The cost of repairing the downed lines and poles will run into the thousands. The price of a\u00a0TruPulse\u00a0360 is cost effective insurance and if I may use an old clich\u00e9, &#8220;An ounce of prevention is worth is a pound of cure.&#8221;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By\u00a0M Phippen, 02\/13\/15 Laser Technology and its line of laser rangefinders such as the rugged, compact, waterproof\u00a0TruPulse\u00ae 360R and 200X have quickly become an integral part of Professional Measurement&#8217;s arsenal worldwide.
