Street Light Pole Production Process

Steel plates are used for the manufacture of light poles. Plate thickness varies according to pole height, diameter, shape and local weather conditions (temperature, wind speed). In the production of light poles, aluminum is also used instead of steel, which offers a lighter and more flexible application.

Steel plates are used for the manufacture of light poles. Plate thickness varies according to pole height, diameter, shape and local weather conditions (temperature, wind speed).

The steel plate is sent to the cutting machine and cut in a conical shape. The length of the plate determines the height of the light pole. Its width will determine the bottom and top diameter of the pole.

The cut steel plate is bent in a hydraulic press machine to form a polygonal or conical pole. The two ends of the plate, which come together after bending, are joined by seam welding.

After the pole body, the production of the base plate begins. The thicker and more durable steel plate is used as the base plate will be used to mount and fix the pole to the ground. The middle of the plate is drilled according to the pole diameter and screw holes are drilled and welded to the pole body.

The base plate is usually square in shape. The hole in the middle is round and the screw holes are oval. The hole in the middle will be used for cable connections.

A rectangular hole is drilled on the pole body with a computer-controlled plasma cutting machine for fuse assembly and electrical connections.

The deburred steel light pole is galvanized using the hot-dip technique. Galvanized coating will provide protection against corrosion (wearing by oxidation and other chemical effects) for many years in outdoor conditions. Optionally, electrostatic powder paint in the desired RAL code can be applied on galvanization.

In the production of light poles, aluminum is also used instead of steel, which offers a lighter and more flexible application. Aluminum poles are also highly resistant to corrosion and have a long service life. The use of aluminum in the production of light poles makes it possible to produce aesthetic and modern poles.
