Windsock Masts
All Pollite Windsock masts are manufactured from glassfibre and polyester resin, finished with a UV resistant gel coat. Each pole has a unique break system incorporated within the main mast and is coloured to client specifications.
All poles are compliant with CAA’s CAP168 and ICAO’s Annex 14 Vol. 1 Aerodrome Design and Operations requirements. Pollite have also recently designed an L806 and L807 windsock range to comply with FAA requirements.
The windsock is attached to the mast by means of a rigid mounting frame (similar in shape to a drum) that can freely rotate around the mast giving a clear indication of wind direction particularly in lighter wind conditions.
For aerodromes that are used at night our standard lighting system for windsock masts has been engineered to provide the correct level of illumination as recommended by CAP 168 without causing unwanted glare. Both standard and LED lighting is available.
All Pollite windsock masts come complete with a unique hinged foot which allows for easier raising and lowering of the mast for servicing the lighting or windsock. Complete foundation and installation details are provided with all masts.
