Swivelpole ™ High-Safety
Luminaire Support SYSTEM
Traditionally, light maintenance is a
dangerous and time consuming job.
Faulty lights are often found in elevated
positions within hazardous areas
that require, at minimum, the use of
scaffolding and a fall arrest system.
The Swivelpole™ Retrofit System is a unique solution
to these added OH&S requirements, helping to make
light maintenance a less complex and costly task.
The lighting system allows for safe and efficient conversion
of non-lowering poles to a SwivelpoleTM, enabling an
operator to either reuse the existing luminaires or replace
them with the latest lighting technology.
The globally-patented swivel mechanism enables
an operator to lower, and rotate, a light fitting to a
safe working level in minutes, without the need for
ladders, scaffolding or fall arrest systems.
Retrofitting a non-lowering pole can on average
be done for less than half the cost of changing a
lamp, compared with the traditional method. Once
fitted with a Swivelpole™, a company can reduce its
ongoing lighting maintenance cost by an average of
95 per cent, according to real life case studies.
With over 300,000 installations in some of the
world’s most remote and challenging locations,
Swivelpole™ has become the luminaire support
solution of choice for industry leaders.
Prior to the retrofit, electricians had to use elevated work
