Aesthetically Beautiful
Contemporary design available in fabulous architectural colors. Extra protective surface gives lasting good looks.
Circular & Square Poles
Elegant & economical designs. Square poles of smaller cross sections also can withstand higher wind loads.
Extension Arm
Multiple arm options available – such as single/double/multiple in straight & J-shape.
Tiltable Pole
ERCON’s lightweight FRP poles come with an option that enables the pole to be tilted for easy maintenance of light bulb and fixtures. This lowers cost of maintenance by saving labour & time.
Corrosion Resistant
Excellent resistance to salty moist winds, CO2 & most chemicals, making them durable & economical in long term.
Easy Repair
If FRP pole gets damaged it can be easily repaired at the site by hand layup.
Resistant to microorganisms of ground
Composite poles are termite & germ proof.
Telescopic Design
Multiple piece telescopic design makes ERCON Composite Poles, of sizes greater than 6m also, to be transported in 20 ft. truck with easy assembly at site. This makes them the most cost-effective transportable poles in the market.
Great Dynamic and Long Fatigue Life
ERCON Poles have higher glass content (65-70%) as compared to any other FRP poles. Special resins give high axial strength and glass fabric provides cross layer reinforcement for excellent strength against vibrations.
High Wind Load Resistance
Composite poles from ERCON can take upto 170 Kmph wind loads & can be designed for even higher wind loads.
Environment Friendly
ERCON poles use low energy in manufacturing as well as transportation. No repeated painting & no replacement required unlike metal poles, thus making these poles environment friendly throughout their lifetime.
