The RAPTOR CLAMP DIVERTER DRONE INSTALLATION KIT (DOUBLE SYSTEM) is a drone-mounted installation solution designed for electric utilities and contractors to install RAPTOR CLAMP Diverters on overhead power lines using DJI Matrice 300 or 350 platforms. As part of PLP’s self-service drone kit offering, it enables remote installation of bird diverters, which are used to increase line visibility and reduce bird collisions with energized conductors. The Double System configuration is built to support simultaneous deployment with two drones, allowing crews to scale installation operations across multiple spans and complete work in difficult-to-access or remote environments from a single staging location.
This system is used in transmission and distribution line maintenance, wildlife protection programs, and utility infrastructure projects where traditional installation methods such as bucket trucks or helicopters are inefficient or impractical. By enabling multiple diverters to be installed in a single flight and across extended line sections, the kit supports faster project execution while reducing crew exposure to hazards. The integrated quick-change carriage system improves operational efficiency by minimizing reload time, while drone-based deployment provides a quieter and more controlled approach to overhead line work.
The RAPTOR CLAMP Drone Kit enhances aerial power line maintenance by providing an efficient method for installing bird diverters with a drone-based platform.
Drone-Based Line Marker Installation: Enables standard DJI M300/M350 drones to install RAPTOR CLAMP Diverters, improving visibility of overhead lines to help reduce bird collisions and related outages.
Enhanced Safety: Limits the need for bucket trucks and helicopters, reducing lineworker exposure to hazardous installation environments.
Expanded Drone Utilization: Adds a practical installation application to existing drone programs, increasing the overall value and return on investment for utility and contractor fleets.
High-Productivity Deployment: Supports installation of multiple diverters in a single flight, allowing crews to complete more work in less time.
Quick-Change Carriage System: Allows fast and efficient reloading of diverters to minimize downtime and maintain consistent workflow.
