Versatility is the key factor in the design of certain types of street or highway illumination. The hinged pole is one such variety. FIE MID HINGED POLE is the first and only tubular type of hinged pole designed as per IS 2713-1980 swaged pole standards with a hinge unit incorporated with a stainless steel rotating pin and a rotating device welded to the upper portion of the pole. A blocking system with pulling rope is provided at the base of pole and a suitably designed lantern carriage for mounting of flood lighting luminaires is fixed at the top. Rotation of the top section occurs by gravity, compensated by the weight of luminaires, on one hand, and by the hinged balance device, on the other hand. The operator controls the movement by means of the rope.
