Cast-aluminum span-wire hanger for suspended traffic signal heads. Review top, bottom and multi-signal assembly options, fit details and ordering information.
Fortran’s Span Wire Hanger is another method available to hang signal heads. This method is typically used for flashing beacons in the middle of intersections, temporary traffic signal installations, or where ever side-of-pole mounting is prohibitive or impractical and high wind areas. Fortran has sold thousands, and are widely used across North America.
Span wire hangers secure the top of the signal head. The lower attachment which secures the bottom is also available. A wire entrance can also be provided as part of the hanger. Cross arms are also available in various configurations to secure the bottom of the signal head. Cast out of durable aluminum, span wire hangers are available in one, two, three, or four way mounting. The span wire hanger can have various parts suspended from it to hold different types of signal assemblies.
Fortran’s span wire hanger is installation friendly and non-intrusive. The span wire hanger can be assembled to the signal head on the ground Fortran’s span wire hanger slides over the span wire, making installation very easy.
Fortran’s span wire hanger fits span wires with a maximum 3/4″ diameter.
For any multiple signal hanger, provided also, is a wiring hub with a removable bottom plate for easy wiring access.
The hanger supports suspended traffic signal heads where a span-wire arrangement is specified. Fortran's product sheet also describes permanent applications for signs, priority-control detectors and cameras. Identify the equipment and complete support arrangement when requesting a configuration.
The product listing specifies span wire up to 3/4 inch in diameter. Send the actual cable diameter, signal arrangement and existing hardware details so the proposed assembly can be checked for your installation.
They depend on the part ordered. HAN501 is the top assembly with a wire entrance; HAN506 is the bottom assembly; HAN510 lists both top and bottom assemblies. HAN500 is a two-way pendant mount for back-to-back signals and specifically excludes the hanger. Confirm the full parts list in your quotation.
The ordering sheet lists HAN502 for a two-way top-and-bottom pendant mount, HAN503 for three-way and HAN504 for four-way arrangements. Provide the head sizes, quantities and orientation to identify the required assembly.
The sheet specifies cast aluminum alloy, with painting available on request. Its 4 lb (1.81 kg) weight applies to the listed one-way span-wire assembly; do not use that figure for every configuration.
Send the span-wire diameter, number and size of signal heads, required orientation and existing assembly code or photographs. State whether you need the upper hanger, lower stabilizer, pendant mount or a complete assembly, and include the finish, quantity and project destination.
Include the project drawings and agency requirements, along with any required model approvals or material-origin documents for a U.S. project. The full support arrangement needs to be reviewed against the project's structural and loading requirements.
