CONSTRUCTION DETAIL

The joint is where single arm poles are won or lost

A detachable arm gives you flexibility, but it adds a connection — and a connection is a place where water gets in and bolts work loose. We would rather explain how ours is built than pretend the joint isn’t there.

single arm light pole

Machined mating faces

Both flange faces are CNC-faced flat to 0.1 mm, so the gasket compresses evenly. Cast-and-fit flanges leave gaps that let water track into the shaft.

Gasketed, stainless-bolted

Four M12 A2-70 stainless steel bolts pass through an EPDM gasket. The specified torque is marked for inspection after assembly.

Load-spread arm collar

The arm root is sleeved with a welded collar before the flange, moving the stress concentration off the flange weld and into the parent tube.

Protected internal cable path

Cable runs inside the shaft and out through the arm with radiused grommets at both ends. No external conduit, no chafing at the joint.

Gusseted base flange

An arm at 1.5 m outreach 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%.

Arm configuration

Outreach 0.5 m to 3.0 m, four tilt angles

Outreach sets how far the light sits over the carriageway; tilt sets where the beam lands. Both are specified independently of pole height.

APPLICATIONS

Where these poles are installed

Aluminum single arm light pole installed for urban street lighting

Municipal roads, car parks and highway service lanes

Single arm is the default for large tenders because one pole SKU covers the whole site — only the arm length changes between a 7 m side street and a 14 m main road. Stock control and spares get much simpler.

Urban streets

6-12m

Car parks

8-12m

Parks & Plazas

4–5 m

Campuses

4-8m

Industrial parks

Our Real Cases

Why buyers choose the single arm form

Specify the pole once, change the arm whenever you like

 A detachable arm is the practical choice when outreach may change, when luminaires will be replaced mid-life, or when freight cost matters. The pole becomes a standard item and the arm becomes the variable.

Independent outreach spec

Outreach and mounting height are set separately, so one pole height covers many road widths. Change the arm, keep the pole — no new tooling, no new drawing.

Serviceable, replaceable arm

Arms unbolt with four fasteners from the hand hole platform. Damaged arms, upgraded luminaires or revised geometry are handled without touching the foundation.

Longer reach than a davit

A straight braced arm carries load more efficiently than a curved neck, so single arm reaches 3.0 m where a davit is practical to about 2.5 m.

Better container fill

Arms ship detached and nested flat, so a 40 ft HQ takes roughly 50% more sets than the equivalent davit pole. Freight per set drops accordingly.

Engineered joint, not an afterthought

The arm flange is machined flat, gasketed and bolted with four A2-70 stainless bolts to a specified torque. Sealed against water ingress and re-torquable in service.

Marine-grade coating

Chromate-free pre-treatment is followed by polyester powder coating. Standard film thickness is 80 µm, with an available range of 80–120 µm. The pole and arm are coated in the same batch for consistent color.

ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER

A pole factory, not a trading company

Aluminum light pole manufacturing facility

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.

PRODUCTION FLOW

From Aluminum billet to loaded container

Shaft, arm and flange hardware are produced and assembled in our own plant, then trial-fitted as a matched set before coating. Lead time is 15–25 working days after deposit and drawing approval.

1.Material inbound

6063 billets and tube with mill certificates; spectrometer check on every lot.

2.CNC spinning

Tube is spun to the specified conical taper on a programmed mandrel.

3.T6 heat treat

Solution treatment and artificial ageing are used to achieve the specified T6 temper.

4.Arm fabrication

Arm cut to outreach, collar sleeved, flange machined and welded.

5.Robot welding

Flange and collar welded by TIG robot, then dye- penetrant inspected.

6.Trial assembly

Every arm is bolted to its pole, alignment and tilt verified, then match-marked.

7.QC & packing

Pole and arm powder coated in one batch, final checks, wrap and load.

PACKING & SHIPPING

Arms ship flat — which is why freight is cheaper

Because the arm detaches, both parts pack densely and neither has a projecting section to be knocked. This is the single biggest cost advantage of the form.

Protective packing for aluminum light pole shipment
Individual sleeve

Each shaft is sleeved in pearl cotton foam then woven polypropylene, taped at both ends. Coated surfaces never touch each other.

Arm cartons, match-marked

Arms nest flat in separate cartons with the flange faces protected, each labelled with the pole it was trial-fitted to. Bolts, gaskets and anchor sets in their own boxes.

Nested timber frames

Shafts bundled head-to-tail in fumigated timber frames with steel strapping, stackable and forklift-ready.

20 FT CONTAINER

~100 pcs

40 FT HQ CONTAINER

~200 pcs

LEAD TIME

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.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before ordering

Can you produce to my drawing instead of your catalogue?

Yes - this is most of our work. Send a PDF or DWG and we return a production drawing for approval within 24 hours.

What is the real MOQ?

10 sets, and you may mix heights and finishes within that quantity for a trial order. Below 10 sets we can still quote, but freight per unit becomes uneconomic for you.

Aluminum or galvanized steel—which should I choose?

Aluminum is often preferred where low weight and corrosion resistance matter, including coastal sites, pedestrian areas and access-limited projects. Galvanized steel may suit very tall poles above 12 m or heavier luminaire loads. The right material depends on the project’s wind load, foundation and lifecycle requirements.

Do you supply the luminaires as well?

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.

Will you provide structural calculations?

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.

How is the coating warranty handled?

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.

Can I inspect before shipment?

Yes. You are welcome to visit our factory, or we can arrange third-party inspection by SGS, BV, TÜV or your appointed agent. We also provide a pre-shipment photo and measurement report for each batch.

What about samples?

A 500 mm cut section in your chosen finish is free; you cover the courier cost. Full-height sample poles are charged at the unit price and credited against your first bulk order.
