The bend is the whole product
Anyone can put a curve in a tube. Doing it without thinning the outer wall, wrinkling the inner wall or flattening the section is what separates a 25-year pole from a two-year one.
Rotary-draw with internal mandrel
A segmented mandrel rides inside the tube through the bend, supporting the bore so the section stays round. Ovality is held under 5% — press-bending typically gives 15% or worse.
Controlled wall thinning
The outer radius always stretches. We size the pre-bend wall so post-bend thinning stays within 12%, then verify every bend with an ultrasonic thickness gauge.
Post-bend solution & ageing
Bending is done in the softer T4 condition, then the full pole is solution-treated and artificially aged to T6. The bend ends up at full parent strength, not work-hardened and brittle.
Smooth internal cable route
Cable runs through the bend, eliminating external conduit. The bore is deburred, and the entry slot is radiused to protect insulation during cable pulling.
Gusseted base flange
A davit arm puts a permanent overturning moment on the base. Four welded gussets spread that load into the plate, with the shaft-to-plate weld dye-penetrant tested at 100%.
Three bend radii, outreach 0.8 m to 2.5 m
Bend radius sets the visual character; outreach sets how far the light sits over the carriageway. They are specified independently.
Compact, upright look. Footpaths, cycle tracks, courtyards
Best seller. Residential streets, car parks, campuses
Wide graceful curve. Boulevards and dual carriageways.
Two opposed curves on one shaft, for medians
Any radius from 300 mm, matched to your drawing.
One continuous bend - no arm joint to fail
On a bracket-arm pole, the bolted or welded arm connection is the first thing to loosen, leak, and corrode. A davit pole has no such joint: the shaft and arm are one piece of 6063-T6 tube, mandrel-bent in a single operation.
Jointless swan-neck
Shaft and arm formed from one tube, so there is no flange, no through-bolt and no site assembly. Eliminates the most common warranty failure point on street poles.
Mandrel-bent, no wrinkles
An internal mandrel supports the bore through the bend, holding ovality under 5% and preventing the inner-wall wrinkling that weakens press-bent arms.
Marine-grade coating
Chromate-free pre-treatment plus AkzoNobel polyester powder. Powder coating: 80 μm standard, available range 80–120 μm. Anodizing: 20 μm standard, available range 15–25 μm. Salt-spray testing: 2,000 hours.
Lightweight installation
An 8 m davit pole weighs about 27 kg against 84 kg in galvanised steel. It arrives complete - lift, bolt down, fit the luminaire, done.
Any radius, any outreach
Tooling for 400, 600 and 900 mm bend radii with outreach from 0.8 m to 2.5 m. Tight radii for footpaths, long sweeping arcs for dual carriageways.
Clean architectural line
Specifiers choose davit poles for the uninterrupted silhouette - no visible hardware above eye level, and no rust streaking down the shaft over time.
A pole factory, not a trading company
Founded in 2003, we operate a 50,000 m2 plant with three spinning lines, two robotic welding cells and an in-house powder coating line. Annual output is around 120,000 poles.
Roughly 70% of our volume is export, supplied to lighting contractors, municipal tenders and distributors across the EU, North America, the Gulf and Southeast Asia. We work directly against your drawings and will sign NDA and OEM agreements – poles ship under your brand and packaging where required.
English- and Spanish-speaking sales engineers handle technical queries; structural calculation reports for your local wind zone are prepared free with any project enquiry.

From aluminum billet to loaded container
Every production stage is handled in our own plant. Nothing is subcontracted. Lead time is 15–25 working days after deposit and drawing approval.
6063 billets and tube with mill certificates; spectrometer check on every lot.
Tube is spun to the specified conical taper on a programmed mandrel.
Solution treatment and artificial ageing to reach full T6 temper.
Base plate machined, hand hole cut, cable slot radiused, top sized.
5. Robotic welding
Flanges and collars are TIG-welded, then inspected using dye penetrant testing.
6. Coating line
Pre-treatment, electrostatic powder coating and 200°C curing; coating thickness is logged.
7. QC & packing
Dimensional and adhesion checks, then wrap, bundle and load.
Where these poles are installed
Municipal roads, boulevards and residential streets
The davit form is specified where the pole line is part of the streetscape. Consistent bend geometry across a batch matters when 200 curves sit in a row; a few degrees of variation is obvious from the road.
Urban streets

Car parks

Packed so it arrives without a scratch
Coating damage in transit is the most common complaint with imported poles. Our packing
is built around that single risk.
Each pole is sleeved in pearl cotton foam, then woven polypropylene fabric, taped at both ends. Coated surfaces never touch each other.
Base plate corners and the slip-fit top get moulded caps the two points that take impact during handling.
Bundled in fumigated timber frames with steel strapping, stackable and forklift-ready. Fittings and anchor bolts in separate labelled cartons.

15–25 working days after deposit and drawing approval
Loading quantities based on 6m poles. 10m and 12m can be supplied in two slip-fit sections on request to reduce freight cost.
Questions buyers ask before ordering
Yes - this is most of our work. Send a PDF or DWG and we return a production drawing for approval within 24 hours.
10 sets. You may mix pole heights and finishes within the 10-set MOQ for a trial order. Smaller quantities can be quoted on request; freight per unit may be higher.
Aluminum may suit projects where corrosion resistance, lower weight, or reduced maintenance is important, including coastal and pedestrian-area applications. Steel may be more economical for very tall poles with heavy luminaire loads. Share your project requirements and we can help compare the options.
We supply poles, arms and brackets. We can integrate LED luminaires from partner factories and ship as a complete set if you prefer a single supplier, but the poles are our own production.
Yes. Provide the design wind speed, terrain category, luminaire weight, and projected area. We can prepare an EN 40-3 calculation report for the specified configuration; request it with your project enquiry.
Ten years against flaking, blistering and delamination under normal outdoor exposure. Claims are settled by replacement poles shipped with your next order, supported by photo evidence.
Yes. You are welcome at the factory, or we accept third-party inspection by SGS, BV, TÜV or your own agent. We also send a photo and measurement report for every batch as standard.
A 500 mm cut section in your chosen finish is free; you cover the courier. Full-height sample poles are charged at unit price and credited against your first bulk order.
Include the design wind speed and luminaire details and we will add a free structural calculation report with the quotation.
