About Mid Hinged Poles
Mid Hinged Poles Description
Mid hinged poles are structures with a hinge mechanism located at a midpoint, allowing for easy access, maintenance, or lowering of the pole. They're often used for:
Street lighting: Enabling easy maintenance or bulb replacement.
Camera installations: Allowing for adjustments or maintenance of cameras.
Telecommunications: Facilitating access to antennas or equipment.
Key Features
Midpoint hinge: Enables easy lowering or raising of the pole.
Secure locking: Keeps the pole securely in place.
Durable construction: Built to withstand various environmental conditions.
These poles provide convenient access and flexibility for maintenance and adjustments.
Effortless Maintenance and InspectionMid Hinged Poles are designed specifically for situations that require regular luminaire maintenance. Their intelligent hinge mechanism (internal or external stainless steel) enables easy lowering, allowing technicians to work at ground level without ladders or lifts. This unique feature improves safety, optimizes inspection speeds, and greatly reduces maintenance downtime.
Robust Design and Superior ProtectionConstructed from hot dip galvanized steel, these poles feature base plate thicknesses between 10 and 25 mm and deliver outstanding resistance to corrosion in demanding outdoor environments. Compliant with IS 2629/BSEN ISO 1461 standards, the galvanized finish ensures lasting structural integrity. These poles also withstand wind speeds up to 180 km/hr, suitable for tough conditions in urban and infrastructure projects.
Versatile Applications and Enhanced PerformanceFlexible and customizable, these poles support various heights (6-20 meters), shapes, and head diameters, making them ideal for streets, highways, stadiums, airports, and other outdoor spaces. They are compatible with multiple lighting technologies, including LED, metal halide, and sodium vapor lamp fixtures, and can be fitted with accessories like foundation bolts and service doors for complete installation solutions.
FAQ's of Mid Hinged Poles:
Q: How does the mid hinged mechanism facilitate luminaire maintenance and inspection?
A: The mid hinged mechanism allows the pole to be safely and easily tilted down to ground level using its internal or external stainless steel hinge. This eliminates the need for ladders or heavy machinery, significantly simplifying maintenance and inspection tasks and enhancing on-site safety.
Q: What applications are these mid hinged poles suitable for?
A: These poles are designed for a broad range of outdoor lighting applications, including street lighting, stadiums, highways, airports, and other high-access areas, making them highly versatile for distributors, exporters, manufacturers, and service providers.
Q: When should I opt for a ground flange or anchor base mounting type?
A: Choose a ground flange or anchor base when the installation site requires firm and reusable foundations, easy relocation, or secure mounting. These mounting options are suitable for areas with frequent maintenance needs or where ground conditions support base-plate installations.
Q: Where can these mid hinged poles be installed for optimal results?
A: Install these poles in environments demanding regular maintenance accessibility without disrupting daily operations, such as busy roadways, sports complexes, airports, or large parking facilities. Their corrosion resistance and high wind-speed ratings ensure durability in both urban and coastal regions across India.
Q: What customization options are available for these poles?
A: The poles can be customized in height (6 to 20 meters), head diameter (76-140 mm typical), overall diameter (76-168 mm), and base plate thickness (10-25 mm). You can also specify shape (polygonal, tapered, circular), finish, and compatible accessories to suit project-specific requirements.
Q: How does the hot dip galvanized finish benefit the poles?
A: The hot dip galvanized finish, adhering to IS 2629/BSEN ISO 1461 standards, provides robust protection against corrosion, significantly extending the service life of the poles, especially in harsh or humid outdoor environments.
Q: What types of luminaires are compatible with these mid hinged poles?
A: These poles are designed to support LED, metal halide, and sodium vapour lamp fixtures. When equipped with luminaires meeting IP65/66 ratings, the installation achieves optimal protection against dust and water ingress, ensuring reliable outdoor performance.
