Engineered for high-wind resistance, structural fatigue compliance, and rapid smart-city multi-payload integrations.
Transitioning from passive structural supports to dynamic, multi-payload smart transit assets.
Modern highway illumination requires rigorous aero-elastic engineering. Cylindrical profiles are increasingly being replaced by octagonal, dodecagonal, and 16-sided conical geometries that break boundary layers, dramatically mitigating vortex-induced resonance under gale conditions exceeding 160 km/h (AASHTO standard load calculations).
The contemporary highway pole serves as an edge-computing platform. Modern municipal and highway masterplans dictate secondary load capacities for 5G micro-base stations, microwave radar vehicular detectors, automated traffic incident detection (AID) cameras, and environmental meteorological sensor clusters directly integrated into the pole structure.
Global highway tenders now heavily evaluate passive safety mechanisms. Utilizing slip-base joints and impact-attenuation shear couplings compliant with EN 12767 standards (classes 100NE, 70LE), our manufactured poles collapse controlled upon high-energy automotive impacts, reducing driver deceleration trauma.
Complete vertically integrated fabrication across 100,000 square meters of high-precision heavy industrial capacity.
Our facility employs synchronized tandem heavy hydraulic press brakes exerting up to 1,600 metric tons of force. This allows continuous, single-seam forming of conical and polygonal pole shafts up to 14 meters in length without mid-span circumferential weld weaknesses.
Utilizing automated Lincoln Electric multi-wire submerged arc welding (SAW) arrays, our structural welds attain 100% full penetration with unified metallurgy. Each structural batch undergoes ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT) to eliminate internal voids and hot cracking risks.
Operating our own industrial-scale zinc kettles (99.995% pure molten zinc at 450°C), our poles achieve a minimum zinc layer thickness of 86 μm (exceeding ASTM A123/ISO 1461). This provides over 30 years of cathodic self-healing corrosion resistance under coastal C5-M atmospheric classifications.

Our infrastructure products are customized to match microclimatic constraints and international project demands.
Installed across Saudi Arabia and Kuwait transit networks. Poles feature continuous internal cable runs with sealed marine-grade junction boxes (IP66), special high-reflectivity architectural thermoset fluorocarbon coatings, and dust-resistant anchor caps preventing subsurface salt erosion.
Deployed on major transcontinental corridors like the Manas Airport - Bishkek Highway. Manufactured from low-temperature Charpy V-notch tested steel (impact resilience certified at -40°C), eliminating brittle transformation failures caused by freezing cyclic winds.
Engineered for high-humidity, salt-laden marine environments such as the Cebu Baseport in the Philippines and Chancay Logistics Hub in Peru. Poles are treated with duplex coatings—ultra-thick zinc layers coupled with electrostatic TGIC polyester powder finishes to repel saline attacks.
Comprehensive turnkey luminaires, smart brackets, and extreme-load structural solutions for global projects.
Beyond steel fabrication, we offer end-to-end calculations that guarantee immediate engineer-of-record approval.
Our senior lighting engineers deliver comprehensive DIALux EVO studies matching M1 to M5 highway lighting classes. We optimize pole height, spacing distance, overhang reach, and tilt angles to achieve maximum uniform luminance (U0 > 0.40) while preventing upward glare.
We supply signed structural calculations verifying base flange thickness, anchor bolt diameter, shear key stress, and pole taper deflection against localized 50-year return extreme gusts according to ANSI/TIA-222-G or EN 1991-1-4 Eurocode provisions.
Accelerate contractor bid reviews. With every proposal, Xintong issues verifiable mill test certificates (MTC 3.1), galvanization thickness verification records, ultrasonic test reports, and CAD drawings ready for municipal submission.
Essential answers regarding raw materials, fabrication lead times, standards compliance, and shipping logistics.
Yangzhou Xintong Traffic Equipment Group is a direct manufacturer established in 1999. Operating an owned 100,000 square meter industrial manufacturing base in Gaoyou City, Jiangsu Province, China, we own and control 7 end-to-end production lines including hydraulic steel bending, high-speed longitudinal submerged arc welding, specialized hot-dip galvanizing baths, automated powder coating, and luminaire/electronics integration. Buyers and third-party inspectors (SGS, TÜV, BV) are welcome to perform on-site factory audits or video audits.
We source primary hot-rolled structural steel coils exclusively from premier domestic mills including Baosteel and Shougang. Materials comply with Q235B (yield strength ≥ 235 MPa, comparable to ASTM A36) and Q355B/C (yield strength ≥ 355 MPa, comparable to ASTM A572 Grade 50 or S355JR). Every single raw steel coil is logged with chemical composition and mechanical elongation test reports, and each manufactured lot is accompanied by certified EN 10204 Type 3.1 Mill Test Certificates.
Corrosion mitigation is achieved via continuous hot-dip galvanizing performed strictly in accordance with ASTM A123, ISO 1461, or AS/NZS 4680 standards. After acid pickling and fluxing, poles are completely immersed in molten zinc at 450°C, ensuring internal and external protection with a minimum thickness of 86 μm. For severe coastal environments (C4/C5-M), we apply an optional electrostatic polyester TGIC powder coating (70-100 μm) cured at 200°C, delivering salt-spray resistance exceeding 1,000 hours.
To generate certified structural designs and exact pricing, we require: (1) Intended roadway cross-section geometry or clear mounting height; (2) Local basic design wind velocity (e.g., 140 km/h, 160 km/h, or 3-second gust); (3) Arm configuration, outreach projection, and fixture tilt; (4) Total luminaire Effective Projected Area (EPA) and total fixture weight; (5) Local seismic or soil classification if foundation anchor design is requested.
Yes. For 15m to 40m high mast projects deployed across airport aprons, shipping container terminals, and highway interchanges, we engineer motorized winching mechanisms featuring dual-drum bidirectional self-locking worm gear speed reducers, stainless steel aircraft cables (SUS304/SUS316), and mechanical docking latch arms that unload cable tension during operation for fail-safe overhead security.
