Light Pole

Comparison of

Composite Poles

Steel Poles

Weight

Specific weight 1860 Kg/m3, about 26-32% that of steel.

Specific weight 7800kg/m3, about 3-4 times heavy then composite pole.

Rusting

Non corrosive due to basic material characteristics

Even after powder coating or galvanizing, rusting   starts from the base.

Installation

Light in weight, can be handled by 1 or 2 person

Very heavy, need lifter machines which adds the cost

Maintenance

Completely maintenance free

Need -recoating or refurbish after some time.

Surface finish  

Smooth   and surface layer can be integrated with the base material, so the surface layer will not fall off with time

The surface coating often fall off after some time, for the index of  expansion against temperature and much deferent for metal and surface coating, so after time coating is easy to peel off.

Insulation

Non conductive, very, good insulation

Conductive, have risk for electricity leakage.

Service life

Longer than metal,20to 25 years

Shorter life due to rusting

Wind resistance

Our  poles can withstand wind speed of 200 Km/Hr.

-

Accessories

We make single, double arm for light fitting, base bracket for mounting   

-

Corrosion resistance

Very good against water acid rain, sea water, salty air, chemical. So can be used in  all locations.

Can be attacked y water, acid rain and sea water. So limited in some locations.

Bend ability

It can withstand stability after bending up to 25 to degree

It can be  bend but does not have stability

Impact

When the vehicle impact on the pole its can break down at time and person in the vehicle will be safe.

When the vehicles impact on pole its will damage the vehicle and the person may get injury.
