| Our wind cones are installed at airports, hospitals, corporate sites and military bases around the world. The sock is orange or white/red nylon reinforced to resist wear and is mounted on a light weight aluminum frame. The frame and sock rotate with the wind direction on nylon coated sealed ball bearings with grease fittings. Wind cones are regularly fitted with flood lights (120V halogen, 3000 hr. life) to illuminate the sock. The entire assembly will withstand wind speeds to 75 knots (86 mph). All lighted models include an L-810 obstruction light. Factory painted. Fully FAA compliant.
L807 Rigid Base
Wind Cones, Sizes 1&2
The L807 includes a tapered, satin finished aluminum pole, 14 ft. 6 in., hinged at the base (or, optionally, pivot hinged at the center). The entire assembly is about 22 ft. tall. A vibration damper within the pole prevents failure from harmonic resonance. The Size 2 windsock is internally framed, as described above, and is 12 ft. long by 36 in. at the mouth. An FAA approved Size 1 model of the L807 is also available.
L806 Frangible Base
Wind Cones, FAA Size 1
The L806 includes a galvanized pipe mounted on a 2 in. FAA approved breakable coupling (a 6 in. ID frangible fiberglass mast is optional). Since the L806 does not exceed 12 ft. in overall height, the top assembly is easily serviced from a step ladder. FAA Size 1 wind cones are used on heliports and to supplement an airport's main wind cone. They are installed adjacent to runway touchdown zones to indicate local wind conditions. The nylon windsock is 8 ft. long, 18 in. in diameter at the mouth and is mounted over an aluminum basket that extends 3 ft. into the sock to increase visibility. Internal lighting for the L806 is not FAA approved.
