Frangible Approach Masts

Pollite supply a complete range of frangible masts for airfield approach lighting. From a single light mast to a five light cross arm with an SFL/Flash Unit, Pollite frangible masts are designed with a number of beneficial features:

• Maintenance Free Mast
• UV Resistant Gel Coat Finish
• Corrosion Free
• Temperature/Weather Resistant
• No electro magnetic interference
• Hollow Mast Construction for concealment of cables
• Low shipping cost

All Pollite approach masts are manufactured from glassfibre and polyester resin, finished with a UV resistant gel coat. Each pole has a unique break system incorporated within the mast and is coloured to a standard Aviation Yellow (alternative colours are available). Supporting cross arms are also made from fibreglass to enhance the pole's frangibility and reduce the overall weight.

Unique Hinge assembly for Pin Point Re-alignment

All Pollite masts come complete with a unique hinged foot which once correctly installed ensures no future re-alignment is required when raising and lowering the mast for servicing the lighting system. Complete foundation and installation details are provided with all masts.

Height Adjustment for Light Fittings

Every Pollite mast has an additional adjuster that allows 110mm additional upward adjustment per light fitting. Masts will always be pre-cut in our factory prior to despatch but can be further reduced on site due to their glass fibre composition.

Complying with ICAO and FAA requirements

All Pollite masts are certified frangible by an independent FAA recognized testing house. Masts have also been tested to ensure compliance with deflection, wind speed, UV and salt spray requirements.
