Reviews of the GL3000PMC
Our feedback has been all good so far . . . . We had about five trucks outfitted last year and we had zero wing accidents with that. In previous years, we've had anywhere from two to seven wing accidents with anywhere from $1,000 to $19,000 in damage . . . . A wing accident . . . can cost up to $10,000 depending on what they get into with the wing. We feel like [the lasers] can probably pay for themselves . . . so we are going to deploy quite a few more this year.

The LaserLine GL3000PMC Wing Plow Laser is "a big help [because it allows me to plow] right on the edge of the curb without being worried. . . . I know that I'm not going to tear off my wing or hit a sign or anything."

The wings that we put on our plows are about $10,000 to $11,000 apiece [and the LaserLine GL3000PMC Wing Plow Laser] might be able to help us save any damage to a wing, any damage to a bridge or other devices.

(As quoted in Trucking News, December 5, 2008)
We installed the [LaserLine GL3000PMC Wing Plow Laser] due to a high number of accidents with our wing plows hitting fixed objects. These incidents resulted in costly repairs for equipment damage and critical equipment down time. A number of our hit objects involved highway hardware fixtures, such as guardrail end treatments, which could be fairly costly dollar- and time-wise to repair. The laser shows our operators in advance where the edge of the wing is going to be so they can avoid hitting an object.

GL3000P Guidance Laser with Remote In-Cab Line Adjust
HIGWAY PAINT STRIPING • WATER BLASTER TRUCKS
VIRTUALLY ANY APPLICATION REQUIRING VEHICLE LINE CONTROL
It’s more versatile, easier, faster and SAFER!
The driver can adjust the laser spot to the desired reference point on the road surface using the remote control panel located in the cab of the vehicle. The laser spot is impacted directly on the road surface approx. 30 feet ahead, showing the driver-operator exactly where the vehicle is relative to “on line.” The laser spot is on the road ahead of the operator so that the reference is in the driving field of view instead of a T.V. screen or boom pointer.
