Design
POWER-FAB Top-of-Pole Mounts, manufactured by Direct Power and Water Corporation, are available in several sizes ranging from 1-module through 24-modules, up to 260 square feet.The rack design is determined by the area of the module(s) to be mounted, not necessarily the number of modules.The mounts are designed for maximum strength and ease of installation.The racks are module-specific and not universal, which helps to reduce the number of parts.This simplifies assembly and minimizes assembly errors.No aluminum components are threaded to be attached to other components.All the mounting sleeves are heavy gauge steel and have fully welded caps.Hardened bolts are used to lock the mounting sleeve to the pole.
Module-Specific Design
Using a module-specific design allows DP&W to build racks with the fewest number of parts.All racks are made to fit the specific module that is to be mounted.This ensures that the system is assembled in just the manner it is intended.No measuring or guesswork is required.All the holes are located exactly where needed.Gaps between modules are minimal and uniform.There will never be excess rack material extending beyond the modules.
Materials
Strongbacks, Elevation Pivots, and Mounting Sleeves are made of heavy gauge steel flat bar, square tubing and pipe or mechanical tubing conforming to ASTM A36 and ASTM A500-Grade B.All parts are mig-welded, burrs are removed, corners are coped, and edges are sanded.All steel parts are coated with two coats of industrial urethane enamel paint. |
