The specific weight of aluminum is approximately 33 percent of that of steel. The typical weight of a pole with a height of six meters is approximately 20 kilograms. Light weight is an advantage as less metal is needed and savings are made on transportation costs.
The lifespan of an aluminum pole is long. We have examples of aluminum light poles in use with a lifetime of more than 50 years.
Our poles are made of environmentally friendly materials and designed for reuse and recycling. We use green energy and social responsibility is paramount in our policies.
When aluminum poles are replaced they can be returned to Hydro where we collect, buy and recycle them, giving the aluminum eternal life.
Our aluminum light poles are since 2011 Cradle to Cradle Certified™ silver.
