Raise and lower poles

Traffic lights, signals, public lighting and CCTV require regular maintenance. In places with heavy traffic, at train stations and along the rails, this causes delays and unsafe situations. Our aluminium Raise & Lower poles, called HiLo, make it possible to carry out maintenance work safely, quickly and cost efficiently.
