A fabricated pedestal supported an outdoor DC charger and enclosed its cable route.
The customer’s challenge
Weak wind resistance, exposed cables and incompatible foundations complicated the outdoor installation.
Material and fabrication route
3.0 mm Q235 steel tube; 2.0 mm sheet.
Process route: Tube cutting → welding → hot-dip galvanizing → powder coating → cable-route assembly → wind testing.
Manufacturing changes
A stronger post, internal cable channel, common mounting flange and anti-tamper fasteners improved the installation.
Engineering analysis
The pedestal combined a load-bearing post with a protected cable route and foundation interface. Reinforcing the post alone would not resolve exposed wiring or incompatible site fixings. The published dimensions identify the project arrangement; the wind result remains tied to the specified installation. A new location needs its own mounting, equipment and environmental inputs rather than an assumed universal wind rating.
Inspection and project results
The project recorded successful wind-resistance checks, protected cable routing and compatible mounting. The public dimensional results are listed below.
| Project measurement or production detail | Recorded value |
|---|---|
| Charger configuration | ≥120 kW |
| Pedestal height | ≥1,500 mm |
| Protection test | IP54 |
| Tube wall | 3.0 mm |
These figures describe the project configuration and production scope above. Dimensional, material and production details are identified separately from performance tests. For a new order, the inspection method and acceptance criteria should be agreed against the released drawings.
Planning a similar OEM component
A useful RFQ for this application should make the following interfaces and acceptance requirements clear:
- Charger mass and mounting pattern.
- Foundation flange and anchors.
- Internal cable route and access.
- Site wind inputs and acceptance criteria.
Include the current drawing revision, mating-component information, quantities and required delivery sequence. Identifying unresolved requirements at quotation stage helps distinguish fabrication work from the equipment-level checks that the project needs.
