Plasgain Magor Lighting SafePole is an energy absorbing light pole, that provides control over an errant vehicle and reduces uncontrolled debris and the risk of secondary impacts. Designed to deform in a controlled manner, capturing the stray vehicle in the process. Our energy absorbing life saving device makes it safer for vehicle occupants, pedestrians and cars in any accident situation, reducing damage and injury to all involved.
HOW IT WORKS
Strategically placed slots to weaken the steel around the area of vehicle impact. This gives the SafePole the ability to collapse in a controlled manner, while remaining upright with one or two lamp outreaches attached.
An innovation in industrial design, this type of special purpose street lighting pole addresses the universal problem of high-speed road accidents involving roadside collisions with freeway poles. The Slip Base Light Pole is designed to topple during impact, allowing the pole to break away from its base, reducing the amount of damage to the vehicle – and potentially saving lives in the process.
HOW IT WORKS
The Slip Base Light Pole consist of a normal pole stem, catering for mounting heights up to approximately 15m. The base involves two plates clamped together with three equally spaced bolts. These plates and bolts are released during an impact, allowing the pole stem to break away from its foundation with minimal impact on the vehicle.
