ZIPpole

ZIPpole collapses without breaking apart

The foundation of passive safety

Road safety is an unquestionable priority, and with this in mind, we present the ZIPpole and ZIPpole 3XL line of Passive Safety Poles. This innovative solution is highly effective in reducing damage during collisions, combining cutting-edge technology, durability, and full compliance with the strictest safety standards.

In addition to acting as a passive and safe structure, the ZIPpole system stands out for its extreme versatility: its design allows for various adaptations, including support for single or double-arm lighting.

ZIPpole

Bending moment capacity of 40,000 Nm.

  • Resistant: For all types of road infrastructure, soil conditions and installation methods. 25-year warranty.
  • Safe: Approved with top marks in compliance with European road safety standards (EN 40, EN 12899 and EN 12767). Designed to create "forgiving highways".
  • Innovative: Designed for new and renovated highways. Supports loads up to 145kg and reaches heights of 20m.
  • Collapsible: ZIPpole is a pole that collapses without breaking apart. Safety along the pole's entire length.

Features

Features

  • For all kinds of road infrastructure
  • For all soil conditions
  • For all kinds of installation methods
  • Safe all over the length of the pole, even with plants growing up to the pole, up to 50mm thick branches
  • Reacting in a crash in all directions, always safe
  • Up to 20m
  • Resistant to high wind loads
  • Approved for the highest safety classes, HE – NE

The installation of a passive safe pole always makes part of the passive safety features. No matter how the ZIPpole is installed, when hit by a car, the ZIPpole will always yield. The ZIPpole will always be safe.

The safety class obtained will depend on the installation method chosen. To reach the highest energy absorption, to slow down the car as much as possible, it is best to fix the ZIPpole into the ground.

Technical Specifications

Technical Specifications

Crash test with engineered collapsible arm

The crash test with the engineered arm evaluates the structure's behavior during an impact, verifying its mechanical response and occupant safety.

How does it work?

ZIPpole's adaptability

  • Folded sheet(s) joined by rivets in the longitudinal direction
  • Resistant in the vertical direction
  • Collapses in the horizontal direction during an impact
  • The rivets open one by one, like a zipper
  • The pole deforms and the sheet folds
  • Impact energy is absorbed by the steel, which resists bending
  • The vehicle is decelerated.
