The approach poles of FUCHS Europoles GFK GmbH are made out of glass fibre reinforced plastic. Thanks to the patented centrifugal casting process, our masts can withstand the high technical demands (wind speeds etc.) at airports and also fulfil the frangibility requirements. In addition, the shape of the masts completely protects the obstruction light cables from environmental influences, as they run inside the masts. The masts are also particularly well protected against vandalism, as it is not possible to climb them.
Our GRP approach masts for airports fulfil the frangibility requirements of ICAO Annex 14 of the Aerodrome Design Manual, Part 6: Frangibility. In case of a collision, the masts buckle easily and without sparks. This is confirmed by numerous full-scale impact tests and calculations as well as simulations by the National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR).
To enable quick maintenance of the approach lighting masts, FUCHS Europoles offers all approach lighting poles with tiltable base plates in addition to fixed base plates. Depending on the height of the mast and the weight of the attachments, the masts can be tilted by hand or by means of a special lifting device, the so-called screw jack.
