Super-large tension-membrane buildings
Accommodating a 12-ft. overhead door is no problem with the Gemini series tall side-wall buildings, which provide clear-span widths of 70 to 140 ft. in 10-ft. increments available to any length.

Chemical-free road flares
“The only practical way to destroy one would be torepeatedly pummel it with a hammer or shoot it,” says Sgt. Steve Merchant of the Ripon (Wis.)

It's visible to 3,000 ft. on the road or water, 10 miles from air (night), and 1,000 ft. (day). Battery-powered units run up to 150 hours; rechargeable units up to 100 hours, and automatically activate when removed from the charger. Complies with U.S. DOT (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) 49 CFR §§ 392.25 & 393.95(g) and MUTCD Type A (flashing) and Type C (solid on). Bowhead Environmental & Safety.
