WIND CONES


AL-100 wind cones are long-lasting, all weather devices built to rugged specifications and designed for easy installation and low maintenance.


Description

They are available in lighted and non-lighted configurations. The masts are fabricated of high grade steel, and are welded to produce a strong and stable frame that will provide maintenance free service for years.

The top section of the unit pivots on a simple low-friction grease fitting that is uncomplicated and reliable.

The mast includes a built-in pedestal, and is hinged so that it can be tilted down, making it very easy to attach a new wind sock.

The entire frame is protected with a high grade undercoat and a finish coat of enamel.

We can accommodate special mounting requirements as needed.

Valley Illuminators wind cones are designed and built to NASAO and FAA specifications to withstand winds in excess of 100 M.P.H. And, like other Valley Illuminators products, they are protected by a 2-year limited warranty.
