We are one of the few manu­fac­tu­r­ers in the world to manu­fac­tu­re in accordance with the spe­ci­fi­ca­ti­ons of the Inter­na­tio­nal Civil Avia­ti­on Orga­niza­ti­on (ICAO). All our GRP masts at air­ports meet the fran­gi­bi­li­ty requi­re­ments of ICAO Annex 14 of the Aero­dro­me Design Manu­al, Part 6: Fran­gi­bi­li­ty.

In the event of a col­li­si­on, the masts buck­le easi­ly and wit­hout sparks. Con­firm­ed by num­e­rous full-sca­le impact tests and cal­cu­la­ti­ons as well as simu­la­ti­ons by the Natio­nal Aero­space Labo­ra­to­ry (NLR).

Ver­si­ons:

• One-pie­ce up to 14 m total height in GRP
• Two-pie­ce up to 20 m total height in GRP
• Hybrid con­s­truc­tion up to 50 m total height; lower sec­tion made of fold­ed solid steel wall and upper sec­tion 12 m made of GRP (optio­nal­ly with main­ten­an­ce plat­form)

To enable quick main­ten­an­ce of the approach light­ing masts, FUCHS Euro­po­les offers all approach light­ing masts with til­ta­ble base pla­tes in addi­ti­on to fixed base pla­tes.

Depen­ding on the height of the mast and the weight of the attach­ments, the masts can be til­ted by hand or by means of a spe­cial lif­ting device, the so-cal­led worm gear screw jack.

Advan­ta­ges of til­ta­ble base pla­tes at a glan­ce

• Low main­ten­an­ce and instal­la­ti­on cos­ts
• Quick and con­ve­ni­ent instal­la­ti­on inclu­ding cable rou­ting
• Can be ope­ra­ted by just one per­son
• No cra­ne or cher­ry picker requi­red
• No impair­ment of air traf­fic
