KEY to prices
DIAMETER: Distance from one side of the globe to the other through the
middle. This is the minimum opening (height or width) that your globe
can fit through. TAKE NOTE! Nothing sours an afternoon like knocking
down a wall to get your globe indoors!
SIMPLE GLOBE: Includes a vertical base post coming straight out of the
South Pole, up to 24” long. When motorized, globe spins on its
North-South axis.
 ARMATURE: Just like the globe in a classroom. A semi-circular mounting
arm capturing the globe at the North and South Poles, attaches to
vertical base post at 23.5º from vertical, tilting globe to correct
angle. Globe can be fixed to the armature or fitted with silent
bearings to allow hand rotation on N-S axis. When motorized, the
globe, armature and base post all spin together.
MOTOR: Rotator sits under the base post, between the globe and the
ground.
Speed and direction to your specifications: we recommend 1-2 RPM
counter clockwise viewed from above. (Generally the larger the globe,
the slower the RPM)
Variable speed, 240V wiring and outdoor rotators available. We use
heavy-duty sign rotators built for us by a leader in industrial
quality sign rotators.
 POWDER
COAT: Unless
powder-coated, globes come hand finished with either a satin or brushed
swirl pattern that shines but catches the light evenly.
There are hundreds of brilliant and durable powdercoat colors available,
including metallics, metal-flake and textured finishes. ‘Copper Vein,’
which resembles aged bronze, remains our most frequently requested
finish. Powder coating is economical, durable and environmentally sound.
OTHER OPTIONS:
Globes up to five feet in diameter can be fitted with a hand polished
wood base complete with rubber feet, perfect for a globe you want to
move around. The globe has an armature and rotates by hand on silent
bearings. Can be powder-coated.
All options are customizable. Your imagination is the only limit.
Globes destined for placement in high traffic or unsupervised areas can
be ‘beefed-up’ to help minimize wear. We can also cut 3-D letters or
logos to wrap around your globe. See GALLERY for examples.
Why are larger globes so much more
expensive?
