Disclaimer

BEGA North America warrants the specific anchor bolts and pole combination according to the product number(s) and description(s) indicated on the submittal sheet. Structural changes to the pole requested by the customer, including changes to pole length, may affect the compatibility of the anchor bolts and corresponding poles. BEGA North America is not responsible for the incompatibility of the anchor bolts and poles resulting from such structural changes without review by the BEGA North America engineering department. This includes, but is not limited to, any labor charges, charges for replacement materials, and shipping. For safety reasons, do not mount more than 50 lbs. to hinged poles and more than 62 lbs. to fixed poles. Pole capacities are based upon the provisions of AASHTO 2013 (LTS-6) and assume a max vertical eccentricity to the fixture of 2'-0" above the pole top. Adequate drainage must be provided in concrete foundation or grout. Do not seal the base of the pole. Due to structural reasons, do not install the pole without a fixture or other appropriate weight on the top. BEGA North America is not responsible for ensuring local code compliance of anchor bolts, poles, or pole tops, including but not limited to wind speed or ice loading calculations.
