No one at FUCHS Europoles can really answer that question – because many of the more than 100,000 that have left the factory in Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate since 1973 are still in service, distributed all over the world; sometimes in regions with very special environmental conditions. The masts made of GRP (glass-fibre reinforced plastic) do not show their age. And these all-rounders also have a lot to offer.
In addition to the short delivery times of 6 calendar weeks from receipt of order, we score with our in-house engineering. This means that even complicated special solutions are possible. Due to the order-related production, even unusual customer requests can be realised.

Extra-light, super stable and absolutely insensitive to any form of corrosion: light poles made of GRP are convincing in every area of application. Benedikt Thier from the Neumarkt public utility company talks about the Upper Palatinate town's decades of experience with high-tech products from FUCHS Europoles.
Our poles made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic are resistant to all environmental influences. Poles made of steel or aluminium can corrode after some time, especially in the ground transition area.
Wind loads or ground vibrations shorten the service life of a luminaire. Unless this effect is mitigated by the high vibration damping of a GRP pole. Luminaires live longer with GRP.
All GRP light poles are manufactured according to EN-40-7. The GRP pole is up to 60% lighter than a comparable steel mast. At the same time, GRP is characterised by its enormous stability: A standard wind sensor pole of the German Weather Service withstood a tractive force of up to 1.3 tonnes in an experiment.
In the case of a minor traffic accident, GRP bends and returns to its original position. In high-impact accidents, GRP breaks instead of deforming a vehicle to the same extent as concrete or metal. Without dangerous flying sparks!
Thanks to the insensitivity of the GRP material to corrosion and weathering, there is no need for costly measures such as subsequent galvanising or painting.
Replacement only in case of serious damage. Some of our GRP light poles have been standing for well over 40 years.
We produce in the heart of Bavaria and offer our customers short production and delivery times. Delivery reliability is our core competence.
Our poles made of GRP are versatile: light, traffic light and guidance systems. Barrier poles are also part of our extensive portfolio.
The environmental conditions in some regions place special demands on the infrastructure. Our GRP poles are multi-talented and can be used everywhere. We have summarised the advantages of different areas for you here as examples:
