Crash tests

In addition to the ZIPole, widely used for street lighting and camera applications, we offer the ZIPole3XL for larger and heavier roadside equipment. The ZIPpole 3XL was already approved for top loads up to 145kg, including applications such as solar panels. It has now also been officially crash tested and approved with brackets up to 8 m long. Long outreach brackets for traffic signals, signs, cameras, traffic lights,.. while maintaining a passive safe roadside solution.
