Base-hinged masts

Since the ﬁrst model was introduced over 50 years ago, Abacus base-hinged masts have become some of our most popular products worldwide. Robust, simple to install and easily accessible, they’re incredibly cost-effective – especially since they require minimal ongoing maintenance.

The unique operating system –the ﬁrst and still best of its kind on the market – is as safe as it is simple, with its gravity lock and quicklowering mechanism.

Speciﬁcation

All masts are designed to the British High Mast standard, Institution of Lighting Engineers’ Technical Report No. 7. All models are hot-dip galvanised to ISO EN 1461. Base-hinged raising and lowering masts with gravity locks are installed and operated using an independent hydraulic cylinder counterbalance unit.

Masts are assembled and installed at ground level using low-capacity equipment.

Why base-hinged?

– Quick and simple to assemble and install – up to three times faster than ﬁxed or winch-lowering models

– Safe – no climbing, as all maintenance and ﬂoodlight adjustments can be done at ground level

– Virtually maintenance free – thanks to straightforward design and robust engineering

– Attractive – with no ladder or platform to interrupt the mast’s clean, modern lines

– Versatile – with eight models, all designed for different load weights

– Particularly suitable for high-wind or hurricane-prone zones, as masts can be lowered in advance of storms

Safe and simple maintenance at ground level. No climbing, no high level platform with difﬁcult access.

Up to 50m high and built to last, with low-cost maintenance.

Base-hinged masts with automatic sequencing

For many years, the base-hinged mast has been a popular choice amongst clients. As such, we decided to build upon its success and take the concept one step further.

This involved developing and patenting an automatic sequencing system within the mast – a feature that enables several masts to be raised and lowered at the same time, all from a single central point.

Together with positional sensors, a Programmable Logic Control (PLC) unit co-ordinates and monitors the whole raising and lowering process. Hydraulic cylinders ﬁtted to the base of the mast work together with a mechanised pivot, allowing the mast to raise or lower smoothly in a single failsafe operation.

Applications

Because automatic sequencing eliminates the need to move a counterbalance unit from mast to mast, it’s the ideal solution in situations where several masts need to be quickly lowered at the same time.

Hurricane and typhoon wind zones offer one example of an ideal application for automatic sequencing. Before the arrival of tropical storms, high-cost capital equipment can be protected by lowering the structures to safety.

Telescopic mast lighting range

The stadium range (up to 50m)

Engineering without comprise

Incorporating the ﬁnest precision-engineering for a long, hassle-free life, the telescopic mast represents the pinnacle of technical achievement in high mast lighting. Driven by a 7m double-acting ram producing 45 tonnes of lift-thrust, the mast works in conjunction with a secondary leaf chain-management system. A supporting negative-chain system and linear string encoder, linked to a remotely located PLC (Programmable Logic Control) unit, mean the masts can be controlled and monitored from the safety and comfort of a main control room.

The masts are delivered to site part-assembled. The headframe is pre-wired in-house before shipping. The headframe wiring is then connected on-site to the main multi-core cables running through the mast’s centre section, using an instant plug-and-socket system.

The 40m telescopic masts installed at the Al Shamal stadium in Qatar. Located in four corner turrets designed to emulate a traditional fort, each carries up to 100 Challenger® 3 ﬂoodlights for HDTV broadcasts. After use, each mast retracts into its own turret and out of sight at a height of 22m.

50m telescopic masts at Lord’s cricket stadium in London. Strict planning controls in this sensitive residential neighbourhood meant that retractable masts were the only practical solution for ﬂoodlighting the stadium.

Toyota Derby

ABOUT OUR CLIENT

Toyota manufacturing plant is located in the heart of Derbyshire, and is one of two manufacturing bases in the UK. The existing high mast lighting luminaires were coming to their end of life after years of service. This caused inconsistent lamp changes, which increased costs year on year, alongside poor lighting levels on site. As a result of this, the dispatch team on site struggled to clearly see DIS labels on cars, causing loss of both time and efﬁciency.

THE CHALLENGE

Abacus were tasked with providing a new LED lighting solution which did not overload the existing high mast structures on site, which complied with both environmental concerns from the ecologist and ensured zero complaints from any residential properties in the surrounding area. With Toyota being a world-renowned company, they did not want to affect their brand identity in the area.

The Toyota dispatch yard is also operational 24 hours a day, so it was imperative Abacus minimised any disruption to site whilst installation was taking place.

THE SOLUTION

• 120 x Challenger 1 LED ﬂoodlights: 3000K and 480W

Abacus conducted maintenance inspections in order to ensure ﬁxings, bracketry and masts were all suitable for a retroﬁt.

Minimal elevation on the Challenger 1 LED luminaires, alongside precise lighting design considerations, minimised any impact on residential properties, keeping in line with guidance notes. Abacus utilised a special 3000K Challenger 1 ﬂoodlight to minimise visual perception of brightness compared to Toyota’s existing SON lamps, as well as keeping overspill to a minimum on edge rows to appease any concerns from the ecologist. 480W Challenger 1 ﬂoodlights were utilised across the high mast infrastructure, which in turn is estimated to save Toyota dispatch yard around £15k per year in comparison to their existing high mast lighting.

A dedicated project manager and supervisor from Abacus were on hand at Toyota dispatch yard to carefully plan around the working environment, so any disruption to the yards operational performance was minimised.

The fabrication of robust masts and columns ensures the structural integrity of the expanded Aberdeen Harbour. These components are designed to withstand harsh maritime conditions, guaranteeing long-term durability and reliability.

The incorporation of a new LED lighting system further enhances the Aberdeen Harbour’s operational efﬁ ciency. Abacus Lighting’s stateof-the-art technology not only illuminates the expanded port but also signiﬁcantly reduces energy consumption and maintenance costs.

Abacus Lighting’s involvement in the Aberdeen Harbour expansion collectively contributes to a safer, more energy-efﬁcient, and technologically advanced harbor, reinforcing Aberdeen’s position as a key maritime hub.

Les Quennevais Sports Centre

ABOUT OUR CLIENT

Les Quennevais Sports centre is a modern purposebuilt sports complex situated in the heart of Jersey near St Brelade’s Bay. Les Quennevais is also the home of Jersey Bulls FC.

Abacus Lighting forged a working relationship with the State of Jersey several years ago and we were delighted to be approached to work with them on this new project for their Sports Centre and a future project with a local school.

THE CHALLENGE

Sports pitch ﬂoodlighting generally involves lighting levels between 75 Lux and 500 lux; our lighting engineers understood the usage of the pitch and designed and lighting solution to achieve their desired levels of 500 lux and lighting uniformity of 0.7 with the ﬂexibility to reduce the lighting levels for training and increase for competitions.

THE SOLUTION

Our lighting solution involved the installation of our HL330-based hinged masts with Challenger 1 LED ﬂ oodlights.

• Challenger 1 LED x 36 installation of HL330based hinged masts x 8

• Designed to 500 Lux with 0.7 uniformity

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Challenger 1® LED ﬂoodlights:

• Flat glass, double asymmetric ﬂoodlight.

• Elegant and unobtrusive low proﬁle design.

• Integral or remote driver options.

• Available in 2, 4 and 6 module variants from 400W to 1500W.

• Abacus designed medium and narrow light distribution, speciﬁcally for sports lighting.

The benefits of the Abacus Lighting hinged masts include a virtually maintenance-free solution for the Les Quennevais Sports Centre, a faster installation, and the fixed headframe means the floodlights stay stable, even in strong winds.

The Challenger 1 LED offers the sports centre cutting-edge ﬂoodlight technology with unrivalled performance, a sleek modern design, and excellent and effective light control to prevent light pollution. Installation included a full hard wired control system utilising DALI lighting control system – allowing the lighting to use a digital signal for more precise and ﬂexible control.

The design produces light similar to daylight and ensures a full ﬂow of light without glare, along with energy-saving beneﬁts and an impressive lifespan.

HL330-based hinged masts :

• All models are hot-dip galvanised to ISO EN 1461

• Base-hinged raising and lowering masts with gravity locks are installed and operated using an independent hydraulic cylinder counterbalance unit.

Auckland Airport

THE CHALLENGE

With a throughput of over 21 million passengers per year, Auckland Airport is the largest and busiest airport in New Zealand.

The airport is one of New Zealand’s most important infrastructure assets, providing many jobs for the region and handling the majority of the country’s international arrivals and departures.

A new apron lighting system was required in order to facilitate the many planes, vehicles and passengers that make use of the airport each day. The busy nature of the airport and the potential costs which could be incurred due to prolonged downtime meant that ease and speed of maintenance was a key factor on this project.

THE SOLUTION

• 8 x GL620 30m base-hinged masts

Abacus base-hinged masts were installed across the airport apron. These base-hinged masts allow airport maintenance staff to safely lower them to ground level in just a few minutes using a hydraulic counterbalance device. From here, all relevant inspections, cleaning and maintenance can be carried out without the need for working at heights or the use of expensive plant.

Once maintenance is completed, the mast is then raised and locked into position from where the counterbalance is then removed. A single counterbalance unit is able to operate all eight of the masts at Auckland Airport. This speed of operation proves perfect for airport applications as downtime and cost of maintenance is kept to an absolute minimum.
