Crown - Roadside Safety Camera Housing

Crown UK, a subsidiary company of Avingtrans plc, (engineering technology group) is a world-class supplier of safety camera housing for roadside installation. Notably, the CrownPole™ has been developed by Crown UK to meet the need for secure, easily maintained, traffic safety camera installations in urban, rural and motorway locations. The CrownPole meets the most stringent performance criteria and is chosen by leading manufacturers of road safety cameras and highway authorities.

CROWNPOLE ROADSIDE SAFETY CAMERA HOUSING

Unique design features have helped to make CrownPole the premier choice for roadside safety camera housing, UK and worldwide.

The counter-balanced design of CrownPole offers:

• Fast, safe lowering of housing
• Inspection at ideal working level
• An easy, fail-safe operation

Engineered to the highest standards, the CrownPole is fully safety compliant, totally secure (vandal resistant), conforms to quality controls within ISO 9002, and is resistant to temperature extremes.

The poles are available in custom finishes to suit the monitoring equipment, location, and authority’s preference, with a multi-position swivel support housing arm, height options to suit the location and conventional anchorage in 1m of concrete. The roadside pole is ergonomically designed, providing high visibility, with minimal distraction and interference to foot traffic.

SAFETY CAMERA POLE INSTALLATIONS

The success of the CrownPole developed for roadside safety camera installations is based on its reliability in operation, flexibility in location installation and safe, easy maintenance. Further advancing the CrownPole concept, Crown UK has introduced a new range of poles, combining the inherent operational features of the traditional pole with advanced design styling.

Known as Crown Smart Pole, these new designs have adopted the visual language of contemporary street furniture. They aim to improve people’s perceptions of safety cameras by using technologies such as integrating an illuminated vehicle activated sign into the pole to increase visibility. Improved vandal protection is achieved with these innovative concepts and a flexibility of design, unique to the Crown Smart Pole.

Crown UK Ltd has registered all the pole designs as Registered Community Designs.

TESTING ROADSIDE PRODUCTS

Testing of CrownPole products for roadside operation are routinely undertaken. Results are published for verification and made available to customers and specifying authorities.

Tests focus on resistance to vandals, fire and aggressive environments. Views of fire testing procedures are shown. Results confirmed housing on the CrownPole resists extremes of temperature, with no adverse affect on sensitive wiring and plastic materials positioned within the cabinet for the duration of the test.
