Advantages of Chalco aluminum street lighting poles
Lightweight yet strong: Chalco aluminum alloy poles are relatively lightweight while still providing high strength, enabling sufficient support and stability.
Corrosion resistance: the oxidation film on the aluminum alloy surface offers excellent corrosion resistance. Chalco poles can withstand humid and rainy environments, resulting in a long service life up to 50 years.
Aesthetics: Chalco aluminum poles feature a modern and elegant design that blends with urban and community environments, enhancing visual appeal of streets and public spaces.
Eco-friendly: damaged or end-of-life Chalco aluminum poles can be directly recycled, reducing waste and minimizing environmental impact.
Easy maintenance: Chalco aluminum poles resist rusting and corrosion, eliminating the need for frequent repainting and reducing maintenance costs.
Safety: the high strength of Chalco aluminum poles provides excellent stability and wind resistance, ensuring reliable and safe operation of luminaires in various weather conditions.
Shapes of Chalco aluminum street light poles
Round tube aluminum street light pole
This is the most widely used aluminum street light pole shape. Generally, a circular hollow aluminum tube with a diameter of 140-160mm and a wall thickness of 4-6mm is used. It is simple to make, but the torsional strength is poor. It has a wide range of applications and can be used for public lighting such as urban roads and parks.
Square tube aluminum street light pole
It adopts hollow square or rectangular aluminum pipe with inner wall partition, which has good torsion resistance. The wall thickness is generally 4-8mm. It has strong wind resistance and stability, and can be used for long-span high light poles. But the production process is complicated and the cost is high.
Hexagonal aluminum street light pole
The hexagonal cross-section combines the advantages of circular and square cross-sectional shapes, and its torsional strength is better than that of round tubes, and its handling is easier than that of square tubes. Generally used for garden landscape lighting.
Special-shaped aluminum street light pole
The use of irregular cross-sectional shapes, such as ellipse, drop-shaped, etc., is mainly based on design aesthetics. It is difficult to deal with, but it can create personalized effects.
Conical aluminum light pole
Taper gradually from bottom to top, the diameter of the big end is 180-240mm, and the diameter of the small end is 140-180mm. The wind resistance stability is improved, but the processing is relatively complicated. Can be used in windy environment.
Slotted aluminum light pole
Notches are provided on the rod body of the round pipe for cable laying. Generally, the groove width is 40-60mm, and the spacing is 300-600mm. Facilitates electrification integration, but affects torsional strength.
Chalco aluminum light pole product classification and application
Straight light pole: the most common type of light pole is the straight light pole, which is shaped as an upright cylinder and is used to provide even lighting on both sides of the road.
Pole-holding light pole: the pole-holding light pole is a special design that combines lamps and light poles and hugs road traffic signs or other vertical supports to save space and cost.
High pole light pole: high pole light pole is a light pole with a high height, which is usually used in highways, docks, large parking lots and other places, and can cover a wider area.
Landscape street light poles: landscape street light poles are usually used for lighting in landscape areas such as parks, squares and gardens. Their design pays more attention to aesthetics and can be integrated with the landscape environment.
Solar street light poles: solar street light poles use solar panels as energy to achieve independent power supply, suitable for remote areas or places without power supply.
Traffic signal light poles: traffic signal light poles are used to support traffic signal lights and traffic signs to ensure road traffic order and safety.
Smart street light pole: the smart street light pole integrates an intelligent control system, which can realize functions such as remote monitoring, energy saving and dimming, and improve the intelligence of street lights.
Camera monitoring street light pole: the camera monitoring street light pole integrates cameras and lighting equipment to provide lighting and monitor the safety of public areas.
