What does the sticker on my Smart Drive Bracket and Cubicle mean?

Each Safe-T-Rack© application is released to the customer with a corresponding “color code.” This name sticker (titled after a color or theme) not only specifies parts among our 300+ applications, but also assures that operators in the field can identify and confirm that they are utilizing the correct remote racking device for each breaker.

Tool code “colors” are specific to each application and can have names as simple as “Red” or as unique as “Lizard.” Browse our application library to learn more – or talk to our sales team to learn which color code will work for your device!
