Galvanized lighting poles are produced from steel or iron materials and coated with a protective zinc layer (galvanization) to prevent rusting. This coating method increases resistance to outdoor conditions and extends the lifespan of the pole. They are commonly used in parks, gardens, roadsides, parking lots, and industrial areas.

How is Galvanization Done?

Galvanization is the process of coating a metal surface with a protective layer of zinc. There are two primary galvanization methods:

  • Hot-Dip Galvanization: The metal pole is dipped into molten zinc. This process creates a zinc layer that completely covers the surface.
  • Electro-Galvanization: Zinc coating is applied through an electrochemical process, resulting in a thinner coating.

Both methods offer excellent protection against rust.

Advantages of Galvanized Lighting Poles

1. Resistance to Rust

The galvanized coating prevents corrosion caused by moisture, water, and other external factors, ensuring years of trouble-free use.

2. Long Lifespan

Zinc coating extends the pole’s lifespan to 30-50 years. Minimal maintenance requirements result in cost savings.

3. Environmentally Friendly

The galvanization process does not harm the environment and uses recyclable materials. Its durability also reduces material waste.

4. Aesthetic Appearance

Galvanized coating provides a shiny and smooth surface. The poles can be painted or given decorative finishes as needed.

Applications

Galvanized lighting poles are suitable for a wide range of applications:

  • Road and street lighting
  • Parks and gardens
  • Parking lots and sports fields
  • Industrial and commercial areas
  • Airports and ports

What to Consider When Choosing a Galvanized Lighting Pole

  • Pole Height: Select the appropriate height for the intended use. For example, 4-6 meters for parks and 8-12 meters for road lighting.
  • Coating Thickness: Thicker zinc coating provides longer-lasting protection.
  • Wind Resistance: Poles in open areas should be resistant to wind loads.
  • Ease of Maintenance and Repair: Choose models that require minimal maintenance.

Galvanized Lighting Pole Prices

Prices for galvanized lighting poles vary depending on the pole’s height, coating thickness, design, and manufacturing method. On average, prices range between 1,500 TL and 5,000 TL.
