Mobile masts are indispensable when setting up temporary traffic safety measures. They are used for example as sturdy traffic light masts for high signals and also for the installation of overhead signals, depending on the specific version. The overhead cabling units and masts now with heights of 7 m respectively 7.9 m ensure safe overhead cabling way out of reach of pedestrians or vehicles. According to the pertinent regulations, overhead cabling above roads must have vertical clearance of at least 5 m for 50V and at least 6 m for higher voltages such as 230V mains voltage.
Structural calculations are available for many applications.
Berghaus Traffic Technology offers various mobile mast systems from its own production for overhead cabling at great heights and across long distances for the installation of temporary traffic light masts and high signals in varying quantities and heights, with or without side arm and modular installation systems for large signs. The masts are reliably weighed down with commercially available recycled base plates or various concrete pedestals from our range, depending on the mast system.
For stable installation of signal systems and overhead cabling at heights of up to 7 m. Ideal for long-term roadworks with our EPB mobile traffic light systems because the great height of the 7 m mast also makes it possible to take mains cables across the road. Overhead cabling systems for 230V mains voltage must have minimum vertical clearance of 6 m in the middle of the road. With structural analysis test for overhead cabling 7 m high, up to 3 traffic light signal heads and one EPB24 slave controller fitted to the mast.
Overhead cabling units up to 7 m high
For stable installation of signal systems and overhead cabling at heights of up to 6 m with simultaneous power supply. Ideal for longterm roadworks with our MPB mobile traffic light systems as the batteries provide the necessary voltage for several signal heads at the same time. No need for additional individual battery casings. With structural analysis test for overhead cabling.
Overhead cabling unit with battery casing
in modular steel design, as a plug-in pole up to 7.90 m high. Ideal for long-term construction measures for stable signal installation, cable overvoltage, for safe equipment of a crosswalk or for use with our mobile traffic light systems type EPB. Due to the great height of the 7.90 m mast, power cables can also be safely routed across the roadway, as a minimum clearance height of 6 m in the middle of the roadway is specified for cable overvoltage at 230 volts.
The round steel mast stands firmly in stable concrete bases. The mast is secured against twisting in the concrete bases with a special locking bracket. When erected without the upper slip-on tube, a height of 6 m is achieved.
With testing of the statics for cable overvoltage at a height of 6 and 7.90 m, up to 3 traffic light signal heads as well as an EPB24 slave control unit mounted on the mast.
.
Steel round mast construction up to 7.90m height
in modular steel design, as a plug-in mast up to 7.90 m high and lateral crossbar. Ideal for long-term construction measures for stable signal installation with high signal above the roadway, cable overvoltage, for safe equipment of a crosswalk or for use with our mobile traffic light systems type EPB.
Technical equipment as described above, but additionally with lateral extension arm for a high signal up to Ø 300 mm above the roadway. When installed without the upper extension tube, a height of 6 m is achieved.
With testing of the statics for cable overvoltage at 6 and 7.90 m height, up to 4 traffic light signal heads as well as an EPB24 slave control unit mounted on the mast.
Steel round mast construction up to 7.90m height with outrigger
in lightweight, stable aluminium version. Height: 6 m. Ideal for a robust overhead cable system or for safe equipment of a pedestrian crossing, for example. The aluminium round mast stands securely in the concrete pedestals. A locking holder secures the mast to prevent unintentional twisting in the concrete pedestals.
A structural analysis test certificate can be provided on request.
Aluminium round mast construction
in lightweight, stable aluminium version. Height: 5.50 m (with top element 6m height.) The 500 x 500 mm lattice mast construction in modular design is ideal for many different uses in traffic technology. The lattice mast can already be made using only two vertical aluminium supports and two connecting clamps. The lattice mast can
be installed by means of various mounting elements with or without transverse arms and can therefore also be used for crossing roads with overhead cables, for mounting signs or signal heads above the carriageway. The aluminium lattice mast stands securely in the concrete pedestals.

Rotating and tilting mast
in portable, modular version. Height 6 m. The universal aluminium lattice mast system allows for quick and safe mounting for example as signal mast with up to 8.70 m arm projection, as sturdy sign gantry, as lane control signal and for blocking carriageways, and as mounting device for roadworks warning signs and large-size signs. The combination of standard elements together with a basic system results in many different applications with and without arm.
Without cross arm also ideal for safe mounting of large-size signs and roadworks warning signs!

Aluminium lattice mast with crossbeam
in portable, modular and practical version. The universal aluminium mounting system is ideal for fast, stable mounting of planning boards, diversion signs, roadworks signs and large signs announcing events. The basic system can be combined with our standard elements so that many different applications can be produced time and again using the same modular components. Structural analysis test reports are available for the most common sign sizes and mounting heights, and are supplied together with the order. At least two large sign holders are required for each sign; at the same time, these constitute the cross link between the round mast and the square masts. In addition, a corresponding number of concrete pedes-tals BS 4 will be required depending on the application.
Structural calculations of the wind load as per Euro code EC1 can be provided for the most common sign sizes and installation heights, as in the following examples (not to scale):
