Crash-friendly aluminium poles
Even at low speeds, a car crashing into a tree can be fatal. Crashing into an aluminium light pole from Hydro, is a very different matter.
Aluminium saves lives
Hydro's crash-friendly aluminium poles reduce the risk of personal injuries after a collision, thus increasing road safety.
To develop the safest constructions for our roads, we have conducted crash tests on our aluminium pole products since the 1970s. The knowledge we have gained from these tests, has led to a range of safe, secure and sustainable aluminium solutions that meet all your lighting needs, while being crash-friendly and reducing the risk of personal injuries after a collision.
