Aluminum Gantries For Overhead Traffic Signs
THE LIGHTWEIGHT
SWARCO offers the full range of aluminum gantries and cantilevers.
Their construction is based on the guidelines of the German Transport Ministry and directives of the individual German states. Static calculations are available for verification.
GANTRIES AND CANTILEVERS
- available in almost any width
- with or without catwalks
- made of aluminum, substantially increasing life span (up to 50 years) and drastically reducing maintenance
CONSTRUCTION
Pylons and crossbars are made of a hollow boxed constructions with rounded ends (50 mm radius). The cross-section is formed from two edged aluminium sections.
ASSEMBLY
The crossbar/pylon connection is designed for rapid assembly. The installation of a crossbar will typically only take a few minutes, minimizing the need for complete road closures.
