A sturdy, cost effective, pad mount, dual height pedestal (single channel) for buses, dump trucks, cement trucks, semi trucks, and other large transportation vehicles (See "Vehicle Height Chart". The driver may not have to pull back his mirror when approaching a pedestal at this height.) Also mounts cameras, card readers, intercoms, keypads, entry/exit buttons, biometric readers, telephone entry systems, housings, and other access control devices. Most often installed for automatic gate entry and exit, parking lot, and perimeter access applications. Includes a face plate with universal holes patterns, heavy duty base plate, and a sliding cover plate to hide the mounting bolts that secure the base. Whereas a competing pedestal may be made from .074" wall tube, this pedestal is made from .120" wall tube (62% more stainless steel) and is designed to withstand abuse from vandals or Mother Nature. This pedestal has passed our facewind testing protocol which determined it can survive sustained Category 5 hurricane force winds of 157 mph. The pedestal is built using a single 2" x 2" channel from bottom to top that allows easy wiring for both the lower and upper heads. The top neck is cut and welded at 90 degrees.
Compared to competing pedestals with very long necks and/or loose bending tolerances, ours is the design preferred by professional installers. Furthermore, this pedestal is brushed with a polished #4 finish. Each pedestal includes carriage bolt hardware and is then wrapped in foam packaging and boxed individually for safe shipping. Customized colors, heights, reaches, face plates and base plates are available-- additional costs and lead times may apply. A pedestal is often sold with a mounting bolt kit and card reader housing for a complete turnkey solution.
