Sport column

Fully fitted & wired columns
In conjunction with flat glass low light pollution Challenger floodlights, the base hinge column offers an easy maintenance solution, overcoming 2 key difficulties:

• Health & safety issues, as they allow ground level maintenance access with the use of the counterbalance operating unit, rather than cherry picker or ladder access
• Avoiding damage to delicate surfaces by not requiring heavy plant to be transported over the grass or artificial surface to carry out maintenance operations (lamp change and glass cleaning)

The columns are delivered to site ready fitted with either 1kW or 2kW control gear, complete with a connection box incorporating 16A single or twin MCBs (miniature circuit breakers).

The 2.5mm² floodlight flex (or flexes) is wired into the connection box and fed up through the column, looped securely at the column top in preparation for installation.

Technical data for columns & masts

---

The performance data for columns and masts gives their basic technical attributes only. The technical performance of a column or mast will be affected by local site conditions (terrain type, distance to sea, site altitude, windspeed) and the headload being carried.

Please Contact the Abacus Technical team to confirm the suitability of a column or mast for your application.
