Advantages of Mid-Hinged Poles

They eliminate the need for an elevated work platform, cherry picker or safety climb system, 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.

Suitable for Various Sites

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 (but not limited to):

  • car parks
  • public transport stations
  • roadways
  • mine sites
  • sporting facilities
  • airports
  • general floodlighting situations
  • 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.

FAQs

Mid-hinged poles are used to allow easy maintenance of lights, CCTV cameras, and other equipment on poles. The hinge allows technicians to easily get close to the equipment for inspection or repairs, without having to climb up the pole or hire an elevated work platform. They are also ideal for locations where access to this type of equipment is difficult or restricted.

A mid-hinged pole is a piece of equipment that offers a simple mechanical lowering method to eliminate the need for an elevated work platform. It is essentially a long metal pole with a hinge in the middle, which allows it to be lowered down to the ground. This is why you may have also heard this pole be referred to as a seesaw pole or centre hinged pole.

Generally, one or two people are needed to operate a mid-hinged pole. However, as our poles range between 4m-30m, this number may vary depending on the size of your pole and what is mounted on the pole. Our mid-hinged raising or lowing procedure can be found on our website here.
