The range

Street Light Pole Types We Manufacture

Five pole families, each engineered for a different job, plus the rest of the range. All of it from the same steel specification, finished to the same galvanising standard.

Parallel Tapered Poles

The workhorse of municipal road lighting. The taper puts the steel where the bending load actually is, so the section is heaviest at the base and lightest at the luminaire and the pole carries its load on less steel than a parallel tube doing the same job.

Roads, streets and general area lighting

Mid-Hinged Poles

The top half swings down to ground level, so lamps are serviced without aerial lifts or heavy equipment and without anyone having to climb the pole. Servicing at ground level means reduced maintenance costs and less downtime.

Highways and hard to access sites

Octagonal Poles

Octagonal and continuously tapered, so the steel sits where the bending load is, heaviest at the base and lightest at the top, and the flat faces take a bolted fixing cleanly.

Long outreach highways

Black decorative street light poles for estates and precincts, manufactured in South Africa

Decorative Poles

For streets where the pole is part of the picture. Custom designs, with powder coating, painting or galvanising as the finish.

Estates and precincts

Solar Poles

Panel, battery and LED on the pole itself. Light with no trenching, no cable and no connection to the grid, which is often the whole cost of the job. The taller solar mast range covers the same idea from 12m up.

Off-grid and rural sites

The Rest of the Range

Traffic, CCTV, fibre optic, telecommunication and transmission poles, side entry spigots and outreach arms for wooden and concrete poles. Above pole height the same works builds high masts and stadium masts.

Specification

The Standard Every Street Light Pole Is Built To

Here is the specification every pole is built to, beside ENDD's own drawings, so a specifying engineer can check it before picking up the phone.

Seven standards, one pole

In the order the work happens, from the design to the handover file.

  1. Pole designSANS 10225

    The South African design code for lighting poles, covering loading, deflection and structural behaviour.

  2. TubingSANS 657-1 Grade GW355J HT

    A known high tensile structural grade, so the wall thickness and strength are specified rather than assumed.

  3. ManufacturingSANS 10214

    Governs how the steel is formed and fabricated, not just what it is made of.

  4. WeldingSANS 10044 Parts 1 to 4

    Welding by coded welders, with test certificates readily available.

  5. GalvanisingISO 1461 and SANS 121

    Hot dip galvanising with a specified coating thickness, which is what determines service life outdoors.

  6. Quality systemISO 9001

    A documented quality management system behind the fabrication process.

  7. HandoverCOC and sign-off

    Certificates of Compliance and engineer sign-off in the handover file.

In their words

What Buyers Say About Working With ENDD

Infrastructure, renewable energy and stadium lighting projects, in the words of the people behind them.

The difference

A Manufacturer, Not an Importer

Plenty of companies will sell you a street light pole. Fewer of them make one. It matters most on the day something needs to change.

Buying from the works

  • A height or bracket change is a fabrication decision, not a new order from overseas
  • One-off and odd quantities are normal work
  • Repeat batches match the first batch, years later
  • Welder, galvanising and compliance certificates come from the people who did the work
  • You can come and look at it on the floor in Benoni

Buying from a container

  • You choose from whatever was ordered months ago
  • Minimum quantities are set by the shipment, not the site
  • A repeat order can come back subtly different
  • Certification traces back to a factory you cannot visit
  • A specification problem becomes a shipping problem
The whole assembly

Brackets, Base Plates and Foundations

A pole is only as good as what holds it up and what holds the light out. ENDD makes the brackets and outreach arms, and designs and manufactures the foundation solutions that go with them.

Brackets and Outreach Arms

Made to the luminaire you are actually fitting, at the projection and tilt the lighting design calls for, rather than forcing the design to suit a stock bracket. The full bracket and outreach arm range is on the main site.

  • Single and double outreach
  • Curved and straight arms
  • Floodlight brackets
  • Solar panel brackets
  • Decorative and heritage arms
  • Spigots and adaptors

Below the ground

Base Plates, Bolt Cages and Foundations

The part nobody sees and everybody blames when a pole moves. Base plate, bolt cage and foundation are designed together with the pole so the load path is continuous from the luminaire into the ground. The wider foundation and bolt cage range, deep pile systems included, is on the main site.

  • Reinforced concrete foundations
  • Steel base plates
  • Anchor bolt cages
  • Deep pile foundations
  • Foundations for poor ground
  • Custom pile depths to match soil conditions
Where they go

Built for Infrastructure, Not a Hardware Shelf

These are poles for people who buy by specification and get audited on what they installed.

Questions

Street Light Poles: Common Questions

The questions buyers ask before they request a quote. If yours is not here, phone and ask it.

What standards are your street light poles built to?

Poles are designed to SANS 10225 and manufactured to SANS 10214. Tubing is SANS 657-1 Grade GW355J HT. Welding is done by coded welders to SANS 10044 Parts 1 to 4, and galvanising is to ISO 1461 and SANS 121.

What heights do you manufacture?

Parallel tapered poles are made in various heights and diameters, and mid-hinged poles in different heights and load capacities. Tell us the height and the luminaire you need and our team will provide a custom quote.

Are the poles galvanised?

Yes. Poles are hot dip galvanised to ISO 1461 and SANS 121, and the galvanising certificates are available. Powder coating and painting are offered as finishes where the finish matters.

Can you make poles to our specification?

Yes. ENDD designs and manufactures poles and brackets to customer specifications. You can contact us directly or request an online estimate, and our team will provide a detailed quote tailored to your specifications.

Do you supply outside South Africa?

Yes. We manufacture and supply into Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Lesotho and Eswatini, and further into Africa on request. Installation is offered within South African borders.

Do you install the poles as well as supply them?

Within South Africa we offer turnkey delivery including civil work, erection, internal electrical installation and light aiming. Installation carried out by our own teams carries the full warranty on both product and installation.

Do you supply the brackets and foundations too?

Yes. ENDD makes brackets and outreach arms, and designs and manufactures foundation solutions including steel base plates, anchor bolt systems, concrete foundations and deep pile foundations.

What is the difference between a mid-hinged pole and a standard pole?

A mid-hinged pole has a hinge part way up so the top half swings down to ground level. Lamps are serviced at ground level without aerial lifts or heavy equipment, which is why these poles suit roadways, airports, industrial sites and remote locations.

Do you provide certificates of compliance?

Yes. Handover files include Certificates of Compliance and engineer sign-offs, and welder test certificates are readily available.

Are you a manufacturer or a reseller?

A manufacturer. ENDD Lighting & Structural designs and manufactures street light poles, high masts and industrial steel structures, and is based in Brentwood Park, Benoni.
