  • 40m High Mast Lighting System for Ports and Industrial Projects

    Jieyao manufactures 40m high mast lighting systems for ports, airports, large industrial yards, highways, logistics centres, stadium precincts and other sites that require wide-area illumination. A complete system can include the sectional steel mast, base plate, anchor-bolt cage, floodlight ring, LED luminaires, electrical distribution, raising and lowering equipment, lightning-protection interface and project documentation.

    At this height, structural safety and maintenance planning are as important as lighting output. Jieyao treats every 40m mast as an engineered system. Plate thickness, section geometry, overlap length, base diameter, door reinforcement, light-ring load and foundation reactions are determined after the project wind and equipment data are confirmed.

    Why Wind Load and EPA Must Be Checked

    The effective projected area (EPA) of the floodlights, ring and accessories directly affects mast bending moment and foundation load. Two 40m masts with the same number of lights can require different structures if the fixture dimensions or wind speeds are different. For that reason, fixture datasheets and site wind criteria must be provided before final structural approval.

    Jieyao can evaluate the mast body, door opening, base plate, anchor bolts and foundation reactions using the approved design inputs. If the project is in a typhoon, cyclone or coastal wind region, the exposure category, gust definition, topographic factor and local code should also be confirmed by the project engineer.

    Four-Section Transport and Site Erection

    A 40m high mast can be manufactured as multiple tapered sections to suit container transport and site handling. A four-section arrangement is commonly considered, but the final segmentation depends on design and logistics. Sections are assembled by engineered slip joints or another approved connection method. Match marks, overlap dimensions and erection instructions are supplied to help the installation team achieve the correct fit.

    Before lifting, the installer should verify the foundation level, anchor-bolt position, mast orientation, door direction, lifting points, crane capacity and exclusion zone. Final erection planning remains the responsibility of the qualified site contractor.

    Raising and Lowering Maintenance System

    The light ring can be lowered to ground level using an electric winch and stainless-steel wire-rope system. A typical assembly includes the winch, motor, gearbox, wire ropes, pulleys, head frame, guide rollers, power cable, junction box, limit devices and mechanical latching components. The design load is calculated from the complete moving assembly rather than the luminaire weight alone.

    Where a fixed platform is preferred, access and fall-protection arrangements must be agreed at the design stage. Jieyao can coordinate climbing provisions, service platforms and aviation-warning accessories when they are included in the project specification.

    Lighting Engineering

    A 40m mounting height can cover a large area, but the fixture beam distribution must be matched to the site geometry. Narrow, medium and asymmetric optics may be combined to improve uniformity and reduce wasted light. A DIALux model can assess average lux, minimum lux, uniformity, glare and spill light before the fixture schedule is finalized.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How many sections are used for a 40m mast?

    Four sections can be a practical transport solution, but it is not an automatic rule. The engineer confirms section length and overlap after structural and logistics review.

    Can the mast be designed for high-wind coastal sites?

    Yes, provided the project supplies the correct design wind criteria and fixture EPA. The mast and foundation reactions are then checked for the specified site conditions.

    What information is needed for a quotation?

    Provide the project location, mast quantity, wind speed, target lux, site drawing, floodlight quantity and weight, preferred maintenance system, coating requirement and destination port.

    Can Jieyao provide foundation drawings?

    Jieyao can provide mast reactions, anchor-bolt layout and a reference foundation proposal. The local civil engineer should validate the final foundation using the geotechnical report.

    Is lighting simulation available?

    Yes. DIALux simulation can be prepared from the site CAD or scaled drawing, target lighting criteria and selected fixture photometric file.

FAQ,If you have any other questions, please contact us immediately

What is the wind resistance of your high mast poles?

Our structural designs are based on local wind data. Standard designs withstand winds up to 160km/h (45m/s), with reinforced options for hurricane-prone regions.

How do I choose the right LED power for high mast lighting?

It depends on the mounting height and required lux levels. Generally, for a 25-30m pole, high-power LED floodlights ranging from 400W to 1000W are recommended.

What is high mast light, and where is it typically used?

High mast light refers to poles typically 20m (65ft) or taller. It is widely used in airports, seaports, highways, stadiums, and logistics hubs to provide uniform illumination over a vast area.

Why is Q345B steel recommended over Q235 for high masts?

Q345B has higher yield strength, allowing taller, slimmer poles to remain safe while reducing weight and improving wind performance.

Can your fixtures pass high-standard salt spray tests?

Yes. For coastal cities, we provide anti-corrosion powder coating that meets 500-1000 hours of salt spray test requirements.

What Are the Most Common Heights for High Mast Poles?

High mast poles are designed for large-area outdoor lighting, and their height usually depends on the size of the space that needs to be illuminated.

What material is used for the high mast poles?

We use high-strength carbon steel such as Q235B or Q345B, bent into polygonal shapes (usually 12 or 16 sides) and hot-dip galvanized both internally and externally.

Fixed vs Raising/Lowering High Mast Light Systems

Raising & Lowering systems feature an electric winch to lower the light ring to ground level for maintenance. Fixed systems require a bucket truck or ladders for servicing.

How does the lifting system of a high mast light work?

It consists of an electric winch, stainless steel wire ropes, pulleys, and an automatic latching mechanism. Once reaching the top, the ring locks mechanically to relieve tension from the ropes.

Will the light ring fall if the wire rope breaks?

No. Our systems feature an automatic mechanical latching system and safety brakes to ensure the ring stays secure even without rope tension when in the locked position.

Do high mast poles include lightning protection?

Yes. Each pole is equipped with a lightning rod at the top and dedicated grounding bolts to connect to the foundation grounding system.

What type of lenses are used for high mast lighting?

We use professional asymmetrical optical lenses (such as Type IV or Type V) to ensure uniformity over large areas and minimize glare.

What is glare control in high mast lighting?

Through shields and precise light distribution design, we confine excess light to the target area, reducing interference for the surrounding environment and drivers.

How is the foundation of a high mast pole constructed?

A concrete foundation must be poured based on pole height and soil conditions. We provide detailed foundation drawings and anchor bolt cages.

What is the anti-corrosion lifespan of hot-dip galvanizing?

In standard outdoor environments, hot-dip galvanizing provides rust protection for over 25-30 years without requiring additional painting.

Can high mast poles be shipped in sections?

Yes. Due to height limits, poles over 20m are typically split into 2-3 telescopic sections for convenient shipping in 40ft containers.

Do telescopic poles require welding during installation?

No. Sections are joined via overlap (telescopic fit) using gravity or hydraulic force. This mechanical joint is more flexible and fatigue-resistant than welding.

Do you provide Dialux lighting simulations?

Yes. Our professional lighting design team provides free Dialux simulation reports based on your site’s CAD drawings to optimize lighting layouts.

Do you have project references for airports or seaports?

Yes, we have extensive project references in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and South Africa. We can provide photos and technical parameters upon request.

What is the warranty period for high mast lighting?

We typically offer a 10-year warranty on the pole structure and a 5-year warranty on the LED fixtures and lifting systems.

Can high mast poles integrate surveillance systems?

Yes. Our light rings can be customized with brackets to accommodate CCTV cameras or other security sensing devices.

What is the EPA (Effective Projected Area) of a high mast?

EPA refers to the Effective Projected Area of the pole and fixtures under wind pressure. It is a critical parameter for calculating structural safety.

Can high mast lights be solar-powered?

Technically yes, but due to high power consumption, very large solar arrays and battery banks are required. We typically recommend grid-tied or hybrid systems.

How do you prevent the internal wire ropes from rusting?

We use high-quality stainless steel or plastic-coated wire ropes and recommend regular greasing during annual inspections.

Do your LED floodlights support 0-10V or DALI dimming?

Yes. With intelligent control systems, you can remotely adjust brightness and scheduling to maximize energy savings.
