Base Hinged Columns

BASE HINGED COLUMNS - ALUMINIUM & STAINLESS STEEL RANGE

In response to demand from our customers, the base hinged column is available in aluminium and stainless steel.

Aluminium

Weighing in at just 34kg for the 5m column, the aluminium base hinged column offers the same maintenance advantages as its steel cousin. It also offers the advantages of a high quality aluminium material, known for its life characteristics.

The aluminium column has a design life of 40 years, subject to maintenance in accordance with instructions.

In addition, the brushed finish gives an enhanced appearance with all the advantages offered by this material.

Stainless Steel

The stainless steel model is designed with a 70 year life, and offered in two grades of material.

The standard grade, 304, suits most uses, providing a robust and good looking product.

An alternative grade 316 is available, suitable for even the harshest marine environments.

Contact Abacus sales desk for further details.

Both models are operated by the same range of spring counterbalance units.

Spring Counterbalance Unit

The RLS spring counterbalance unit is available in a range of colour coded options, each one suited to take particular weights and head loads. Select from the column matrix below the correct unit for your column height and weight.

The counterbalance unit ensures complete operator safety in lowering and raising the column. Compare with alternative rope/cable operated systems which do not offer similar safety levels in use.
