Also known as Breakback, Centre Hinged & Seesaw Poles, G&S Industries' Mid-Hinged Tapered Octagonal Poles are an alternative to our Fixed Tapered Octagonal Poles. They eliminate the need for an elevated work platform, cherry picker or Safety Climb Systems, reducing ongoing Pole maintenance costs. Lighting, security, communications and other equipment can be maintained safely and effectively using the Pole's simple mechanical lowering device, which can be operated by one or two people.
These poles are popular in remote areas where elevating machinery is not readily available or on sites where access to this machinery is limited. Sites may include car parks, public transport stations, roadways, mine sites, sporting facilities, airports, general floodlighting situations and communications installations. The poles are supplied with tamper resistant fixings, vandal resistant locks and are available with tapered curved or straight Outreach Arms for street lighting.
Our Mid-Hinged Poles are designed to meet Australian Design Standards incorporating resultant wind actions in structural designs. Individual computerised engineering is available on all of our poles.
Our standard range of Mid-Hinged Poles are baseplate mounted and range from 4 metres to 30 metres, however we can design and manufacture poles to any height, width and specification to suit the requirements of our clients. We also carry many of our standard poles in stock for immediate delivery.
Poles are supplied galvanised and can be painted or powder coated in a variety of colours. (Please see the "Specifications" section for a link to Powder Coating Colour Charts).
Poles are supplied ex works from Osborne Park or can be delivered throughout Australia and overseas. If required, we can organise the installation of foundations, pole assembly and erection. (Please see our "Project Services" section for a complete range of our services).
