Prism Poles
Setting the boundaries of areas calls for the task of surveying, and this task needs the use of surveying instruments. One of these instruments is a prism, which can reflect light back towards the source, such as total stations. Prisms are usually mounted on poles for added visibility, but these poles also offer many other functions. Because of their graduations and bright, alternating colors, they can be used with optical levels and help in measuring distances, elevations, and grades. Prism poles that can be ordered here on Engineer Warehouse are constructed with different kinds of durable materials. Some are made of carbon fiber, which provides these poles with pure black color and strength without adding weight. Some poles are constructed with aluminum, which is also durable and lightweight, while others have a fiberglass construction. Compared to aluminum, fiberglass prism poles are heavier but they are more durable and temperature-resistant, making them suitable in settings with inconsistent and extreme temperatures. For a comfortable and firm hold, some offer soft, ergonomic grips. For portability, most of these poles are conveniently lightweight, and there are also prism poles of the telescopic type and those that can be disassembled.
