Our innovative hinges allow lighting and other types of columns up to 6 metres in height to be retro-fitted with a cost-effective hinge that allows one man to maintain the light safely without the need for ladders or scissor lifts.

The unique flexible rotational fitting capabilities mean the column can be raised and lowered in a convenient direction to miss fixed obstacles such as trees and bushes etc

 

 

 

Each hinge can be installed in approximately 30 minutes, minimizing impact on Public Access and safety.

Our hinges can save users up to £600 per column, taking into account the costs of closing roads/paths, excavation and new column costs.

The hinges are protected by patent; Ferrartis are the sole holders of a licence to produce them.
