Searchlight masts and lightning rods

Vertical lattice metal structures for lighting outdoor areas and lightning protection of objects: steel masts and lightning rods MS, versions on reinforced concrete permanent residence and permanent residence poles. Ladders and service platforms are included in the package.

Searchlight masts and lightning rods

Vertical lattice metal structures based on the same sheet and angular rolled products as the supports ЛЭП. Searchlight masts are designed to mount floodlights and are equipped with platforms and ladders for equipment maintenance — they are installed at oil depots and oil storage facilities, open switchgear, stadiums, train stations and cargo sorting sites. Lightning rods take on lightning discharges, protecting the object; the structures differ mainly in height.

PMS Searchlight Masts
Steel · 24-32.5 m

PMS Searchlight Masts

Steel lattice structure for mounting floodlights. Lighter than its reinforced concrete counterpart of the same height, easier to transport and install. The service area and stairs are included.

Searchlight masts for permanent residence
On reinforced concrete posts · 16.6–22.8 m

Searchlight masts for permanent residence

Execution on a reinforced concrete stand is used when the project of the object requires it. The equipment is the same: service area, stairs, hardware and assembly elements.

Lightning rods of MS
Steel freestanding · 26.2–33.2 m

Lightning rods of MS

Freestanding lattice structure made of angular and rolled steel. It receives a lightning bolt and discharges it into the ground, bypassing the protected object.

Lightning rods of the MF
On reinforced concrete posts · 24.3–30.6 m

Lightning rods of the MF

Lightning rod on a reinforced concrete rack. The height is selected according to the protection zone: the higher the structure and the further away it is from the object, the larger the area under protection.

The delivery package includes shipping and assembly structural elements, hardware, ladders and service platforms. The steel grade is selected for the climatic region and design loads, the weight is specified when the drawings are issued КМД. Anti—corrosion protection - galvanizing or special paint coating, if necessary with red and white markings and lighting equipment. We produce according to unified drawings and according to the customer's designs.

Calculation of the application

What should I send to calculate the masts?

Based on these data, we will select the height and design of the structure. If there is no project, describe the site and the task, we will calculate it ourselves.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

How does a searchlight mast differ from a lightning rod?
The mast is designed to mount floodlights and is equipped with platforms and ladders for lamp maintenance. The lightning rod takes over the lightning discharge and diverts it to the ground — there is nothing to maintain there, so the structures differ mainly in height and equipment. There are also combined solutions.
What height should I choose?
For a mast, the height is calculated from the required illumination of the site and the number of spotlights, for a lightning rod — from the protection zone: the higher the structure and the further it is from the protected object, the larger the area under protection. Send us the dimensions of the site and what exactly you are protecting. We will select a standard size.
How is a steel mast better than a reinforced concrete one?
The steel structure is noticeably lighter than reinforced concrete with greater strength, easier to transport and install, and more durable with an anti—corrosion coating. We supply versions on reinforced concrete racks (permanent residence, permanent residence) on request, when the project requires it.
What is included in the package?
Shipping and assembly structural elements, hardware, ladders and service platforms. The steel grade is selected for the climatic region and design loads, the weight is specified when the drawings are issued КМД.
