A utility pole might stand for 50–70 years. In that time, it’s only fully inspected about 6 times — roughly once a decade.

That’s a small number of chances to catch problems. It also means the ID tag on that pole has to keep doing its job for years between visits, not just on installation day.

~6 TIMES is how often a pole may be fully inspected during its lifespan.

Long service lives require identification that remains readable for decades. If a tag fades, cracks, or falls off before the next inspection rolls around, crews lose time re-identifying the asset, or worse, miss it on the schedule altogether.

At Premax, we build pole tags and markers designed for:

Decades of legibility — through sun, ice, heat, and UV exposure

Long-term attachment — so tags stay put between inspection cycles

With only a handful of inspections over a pole’s service life, every one counts. A durable tag means crews aren’t starting from scratch each time.

Make sure your identification lasts as long as your poles do. Contact us today!
