Superior Handling of Heavy, High Speed Vehicular Traffic
Vehicular traffic produces the greatest impact on a cable protector’s leading edges and its ramps. Yellow Jacket’s superior engineering and materials have been proven in 25 years of demanding use, making them the most durable on the market. Yellow Jacket® cable protectors are able to absorb significantly more impact from vehicles due to the design of their ramps, which includes:
- Extra thick 3/8” thick base
- Extra thick 3/8” lid
- Low angle ramps (only 16° on 5 channel model) make it easy for all types of vehicles and pedestrians to cross over them - reducing wear and tear
- Roman Arch™ construction creates sturdier ramps and forms suction cups that hold the Yellow Jacket in place.
- Extra wide 2” leading edges which prevent tearing and ripping of the ramps

Proven Durability in 25 Years of Use
25 year old Yellow Jackets are still in the field handling trucks, forklifts and other vehicles every day. This toughness is due to:
- Heavy weight construction – a 5 channel Yellow Jacket weighs 28 lbs. – 30% heavier than other 5 channel cable dog bone based cable protectors
- Made from Durathane™ – a proprietary cast molded polyurethane with superior tear and abrasion resistance, and dynamic load bearing properties
