Light poles.

Always on the
safe side.

In cities or muni­ci­pa­li­ties: light poles made of GRP relia­bly bring light into the dark and impress along the enti­re value chain: low weight and effi­ci­ent pro­duc­tion save CO2 during manu­fac­tu­ring and trans­por­ta­ti­on.

Relia­ble deli­very and simp­le instal­la­ti­on of the street­light poles ensu­re plan­ning secu­ri­ty, even for time-cri­ti­cal pro­jects.

For light in its
best form.

You are always on the safe side with light pole made of fiber­glass-rein­forced pla­s­tic. Our EN-40–7 cer­ti­fied poles offer maxi­mum pas­si­ve safe­ty and the­r­e­fo­re meet the requi­re­ments of the inter­na­tio­nal­ly reco­gni­zed fran­gi­bi­li­ty regu­la­ti­ons. The light­po­les made of this mate­ri­al also have a num­ber of other advan­ta­ges:

Advantages of GRP light poles

Our light poles made of fiber­glass-rein­forced pla­s­tic are resistant to all envi­ron­men­tal influen­ces such as road salt, che­mi­cals or dog uri­ne. Poles made of steel or alu­mi­num can cor­ro­de after some time, espe­ci­al­ly in the ground tran­si­ti­on area.

Wind loads or ground vibra­ti­ons shor­ten the ser­vice life of a lumi­n­aire. Unless this effect is miti­ga­ted by the high vibra­ti­on dam­ping of a GRP mast. Lumi­n­aires live lon­ger with GRP.

All GRP light poles are manu­fac­tu­red in accordance with EN-40–7. The GRP mast is 60% ligh­ter than a com­pa­ra­ble steel mast. At the same time, GRP is cha­rac­te­ri­zed by its enorm­ous sta­bi­li­ty: A wind sen­sor mast from the Ger­man Wea­ther Ser­vice withs­tood a ten­si­le force of up to 1.3 tons in an expe­ri­ment.

In the event of a minor traf­fic acci­dent, GRP bends and returns to its ori­gi­nal posi­ti­on. In high-impact acci­dents, the mast breaks ins­tead of deforming a vehic­le to the same ext­ent as con­cre­te or metal. Wit­hout dan­ge­rous fly­ing sparks!

Thanks to the insen­si­ti­vi­ty of the GRP mate­ri­al to cor­ro­si­on and wea­the­ring, the­re is no need for cos­t­ly mea­su­res such as re-gal­va­ni­zing or repain­ting.

Some of our GRP light poles have been stan­ding for well over 40 years. Repla­ce­ment is only neces­sa­ry in the event of serious dama­ge.

We pro­du­ce in the heart of Bava­ria and offer our cus­to­mers short pro­duc­tion and deli­very times (6 calen­dar weeks from receipt of order). Deli­very relia­bi­li­ty is our core com­pe­tence.

Our GRP poles can be used in a varie­ty of ways: light, traf­fic light and gui­dance sys­tems. Our exten­si­ve port­fo­lio also includes level cro­sing bar­riers. The poles are available in all RAL colors. We offer two foun­da­ti­on vari­ants: With earth sta­ke for bury­ing or with a base pla­te.

Aspects that speak in favor of GRP light poles

  • Manu­fac­tu­red from envi­ron­men­tal­ly fri­end­ly mate­ri­als and com­pa­ra­tively low ener­gy con­sump­ti­on

  • Low trans­por­ta­ti­on and instal­la­ti­on cos­ts thanks to the low weight

  • High dyna­mic and mecha­ni­cal strength – strong against extre­me wind loads

  • Non-con­duc­ti­ve – ful­ly insu­la­ted due to the mate­ri­al pro­per­ties (light­ning pro­tec­tion)

  • Mecha­ni­cal dama­ge to the mast sur­face can be repai­red

How long does a GRP light pole actually last?

Nobo­dy at FUCHS Euro­po­les can real­ly ans­wer that – becau­se many of the more than 100,000 masts that have left the fac­to­ry in Neu­markt /OPf. sin­ce 1973 are still in ser­vice. They are spread all over the world, some of them in regi­ons with very spe­cial envi­ron­men­tal con­di­ti­ons. You can’t tell how old the GRP masts are. And the­se all-roun­ders have a lot to offer in other respects too.

In addi­ti­on to the short deli­very times of six calen­dar weeks from receipt of order, we score points with our in-house engi­nee­ring, which makes even com­plex spe­cial solu­ti­ons pos­si­ble. Thanks to order-rela­ted pro­duc­tion, we can rea­li­ze even the most unu­su­al cus­to­mer requests.

Extra light, super sta­ble and abso­lut­e­ly insen­si­ti­ve to any form of cor­ro­si­on: light poles made of GRP are impres­si­ve in every area of appli­ca­ti­on. Peter Mei­er, 1st Mayor of Dei­ning, talks about the light poles and coope­ra­ti­on with FUCHS.

Grund­sätz­lich sind GFK-Mas­te war­tungs­frei.
Das heißt hier brau­che ich kei­ne War­tungs­maß­na­hemn vor­neh­men. Hier ist es voll­kom­men aus­rei­chend, wenn ich stich­punkt­ar­tig alle paar Jah­re eine Sicht­kon­trol­le durch­füh­re. “ “ Bene­dikt Thi­er Stadt­wer­ke Neu­markt Wir woll­ten bei unse­ren neu­en Stra­ßen­be­leuch­tungs­mas­ten ganz bewusst auf ein robus­tes Mate­ri­al set­zen, das aber dann zugleich auch leicht im Hand­ling ist, leicht zu ver­bau­en hier auf der Bau­stel­le ist. Des­halb ist dann die Ent­schei­dung auch auf die GFK-Mas­te von FUCHS Euro­po­les gefal­len. “ “ Peter Mei­er 1. Bür­ger­meis­ter der Gemein­de Dei­ning

How light poles work today.

The envi­ron­men­tal con­di­ti­ons in some regi­ons place spe­cial demands on the infra­struc­tu­re. Our GRP masts are mul­ti-talen­ted and can be used any­whe­re. We have sum­ma­ri­zed the advan­ta­ges of various are­as for you here as examp­les:

In the mountains:

Insen­si­ti­ve to road salt.

Hard­ly any con­den­sa­ti­on thanks to low ther­mal con­duc­ti­vi­ty.

Deca­des of color fast­ness and pro­tec­tion against hail dama­ge.

On the coast:

Insen­si­ti­ve to sali­ni­ty

No com­plex main­ten­an­ce mea­su­res

Lights live lon­ger – even in wind and vibra­ti­on

In the industry:

Insen­si­ti­ve to che­mi­cal sub­s­tances

Indi­vi­du­al in appearance, shape and color

Low cost, low dead weight, high sta­bi­li­ty

In the residential area:

High pas­si­ve safe­ty

Low main­ten­an­ce, dura­ble and recy­clable

Low ener­gy con­sump­ti­on during pro­duc­tion and trans­por­ta­ti­on

Refe­ren­ces,
that con­vin­ce.
