Best Supporting Actor

Hapco Aluminum Poles – Best Supporting Actor for Quality Light Pole Solutions

In the world of streetscape and area lighting, the role of the light pole sometimes seems like a behind-the-scenes player—often overlooked but absolutely vital to the quality and long-term aesthetics of lighting projects. At Hapco, we take pride in being the “Best Supporting Actor” for architects, specifiers, and developers who depend on quality light poles for their projects. Since 1951, we have been committed to delivering not just a product, but a promise of reliability, durability, and engineering excellence.

 

1. A Quality Pole Starts with Quality Components and Processes

At Hapco, we believe that superior light poles begin with highest quality materials and manufacturing processes. Why Aluminum? The answer lies in its many advantages. Aluminum provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, allowing for intricate designs and finishes that enhance the visual appeal of any project. It’s lightweight, maintenance-free, easy to handle, and flexible in design.  Furthermore, aluminum poles are recyclable and contain an incredibly long life cycle, making aluminum poles the “Green” choice that allows specifiers to pursue sustainable principles that include carbon drawdown initiatives.

 

2. The Advantages of 6063 Aluminum

Known for its excellent corrosion resistance and lightweight properties, our poles are made using 6063 Aluminum, a high-quality alloy with virtually no copper content. Known for its corrosion resistance and strength, this material outperforms alternative pole materials by offering a longer lifespan and less maintenance. Each pole also undergoes a heat treat after weld process that produces a Full T6 Temper, ensuring the most efficient pole design, maximum durability, and long-lasting performance.

 

3. Unmatched Powder Coating Quality

Hapco’s state-of-the-art powder coating system ensures that our poles look as good as they perform. We exclusively use Super Durable AAMA 2604 Powders, a high-performance coating that provides exceptional gloss retention, color retention, and UV resistance. Tested against the rigorous South Florida Benchmark, our poles maintain their aesthetic integrity, even in the harshest conditions.

 

4. Finish Customization Options

Customers can choose from a wide range of standard colors, or, for a personalized touch, you can provide a color sample or RAL Numbers for precise color matching. We also offer Anti-Graffiti options, adding another layer of protection and ease of maintenance to our products. Every powder-coated pole comes with a 5-Year Standard Warranty, a testament to our commitment to quality and durability.

 

5. Proven Performance and a Lifetime Warranty

Our track record speaks for itself. With over 70 Years of Experience, Hapco has been recognized as an industry pioneer at the forefront of pole research, development, and pole engineering. This history of innovation and legacy of performance and dependability allows us to back our products with a Lifetime Warranty, ensuring peace of mind for each of our customers.

 

6. Aesthetic Solutions and Customization

We understand that light poles are not just structural elements—they’re also part of the design. That’s why Hapco offers over 60 Standard Decorative Base Options, including the industry’s largest offering of FHWA-Accepted Breakaway Options. But we don’t stop at bases. Our range of Decorative Arms and accessories—including banner arms, plant holders, and flag holders—allows for even more customization, creating streetscape designs that deliver on specifiers overall project vision.

 

7. Innovative Pole Solutions

Hapco offers a variety of industry-leading project solutions. One of our most innovative solutions is the Hapco Bolt Circle Adapter, an economical and versatile option that accommodates mismatched bolt circle foundations. This solution maintains the aesthetic integrity of the pole while eliminating both the cost of removing existing foundations and the cost of new anchor bolts.

 

8. A Vibration Expert You Can Trust

Vibration can compromise the longevity and safety of light poles. As recognized experts in pole vibration, Hapco offers solutions for both 1st and 2nd Mode Vibration, ensuring that your poles remain stable and secure, even in challenging environments.
