Pole & Body
The structural pole — square or profiled steel/ aluminum, sized for stability, with internal routing so the power cable runs neatly hidden inside the pedestal.

01 / What We Fabricate
The Pedestal Structure — Where the Charger Stands
Where there's no wall to mount a charger, a pedestal puts it where the car parks. We fabricate the sheet metal pedestal — the pole, base, and panels that hold the charger you integrate, outdoors, for years.
Anchor Base
Heavy base plate with anchor-bolt provisions for concrete mounting — the foundation that keeps the pedestal stable and standing through wind and weather.
Mounting & Front Panels
Universal mounting provisions and replaceable front panels — so the charger bolts on cleanly, and the panel can be swapped if you change charger models later.
Access & Cable Provisions
Removable back/access panels for wiring during installation, plus knockouts and provisions for cable management and optional LED lighting.
Our scope: the sheet metal pedestal structure
We fabricate the pedestal structure — pole, anchor base, mounting and front panels, and access panels — laser-cut, formed, welded, and powder-coated, ready for charger integration. Bought-out components such as the EV charger unit itself, electrical wiring and connections, cable management retractors, and optional LED lighting are supplied and installed by you or your electrician. We build the pedestal with mounting provisions sized to your charger.
02 / Pedestal Types
Stands for Every Charging Site
We fabricate the pedestal structure for the full range of EV charging deployments, to your charger and design.

- Use Home, workplace
- Mount Anchor base
Dual Dual-Charger Pedestals
One pedestal serving two parking bays — mounting a charger on each side to maximize charging points per footprint in parking lots and fleets.
- Holds Two chargers
- Use Parking lots, fleet
- Benefit 2 bays, 1 base
Cable-Managed Cable-Management Pedestals
Pedestals with provisions for cable retractors and hooks — keeping charging cables off the ground, safe, and tidy in busy public and commercial sites.
- Feature Cable provisions
- Use Public, commercial
- Benefit Tidy, safe cables
Branded Branded & LED Pedestals
Custom-finished pedestals — brand-color powder coat, graphics, and provisions for integrated LED lighting — to make charging stations stand out and on-brand.
- Finish Brand color, graphics
- Option LED light provisions
- Use Branded networks
03 / Technical Capabilities
Stable, Weatherproof, and Universal
A charging pedestal has to stand firm in wind, survive the weather, fit the charger, and look right. Here's what we fabricate to.
| Materials | Steel (galvanized) and aluminum (incl. marine-grade); heavy base plate |
|---|---|
| Typical Build | Pole profile and base plate to the released drawing and structural inputs |
| Height | Released charger interface, accessibility and site drawing govern |
| Charger Mounting | Mounting provisions built to the buyer-supplied charger pattern |
| Base | Anchor base plate with bolt provisions for concrete mounting |
| Wind | Fabricated to buyer-supplied wind-load and anchoring design; responsible engineer owns calculations and validation |
| Cable & Access | Internal cable routing, removable access panels, knockouts, LED provisions |
| Front Panel | Replaceable front panel — swap if charger model changes (avoids pole obsolescence) |
| Finishing | Weatherproof powder coat (RAL/brand color), primer undercoat; vinyl graphics option |
We fabricate the pedestal structure to your charger and site. The charger unit, electrical wiring, cable retractors, and LED lighting are supplied and installed by you or your electrician.
04 / Manufacturing Process
From Sheet to Charging Pedestal
A pedestal has to be stable, weatherproof, and fit the charger. Our process delivers a stand that stays standing and looks the part.
01
DFM & Charger Fit
Review your charger's mounting pattern, site, and finish — confirm material, height, base design, and the cable and LED provisions you need.
02
Laser Cutting
Fiber laser cutting of pole, base plate, and panels — with charger mounting holes, cable openings, knockouts, and anchor-bolt holes.
03
Forming
CNC press-brake forming of the pole and panels — accurate bends for a clean profile and a stable, true structure.
04
Welding & Assembly
Welding the pole to the base plate for rigidity, fitting access panels and mounting provisions — a stand built to resist wind and abuse.
05
Finishing
Weatherproof powder coat with primer undercoat in your RAL/brand color, with optional vinyl graphics — built for years of outdoor exposure.
06
Inspection
Dimensional inspection of mounting holes and base, weld and finish quality, and fit verification before delivery for your charger integration.
05 / Why It Matters
What Makes a Charging Pedestal Right
The pedestal holds the charger where drivers use it, in public, outdoors, for years. Four things separate a good pedestal from one that rusts, wobbles, or goes obsolete.
Stability & Wind
A pedestal carries a charger and takes wind, knocks, and weather. A heavy anchor base and welded pole keep it stable and standing — The responsible engineer defines and validates wind, impact, anchoring and stability requirements.
Weather Resistance
Outdoors means rust risk. Galvanized steel or aluminum with a weatherproof powder coat (and primer undercoat) keeps the pedestal looking good and corrosion-free for years.
Universal & Future-Proof
Universal mounting fits most chargers, and a replaceable front panel means you can swap charger models without replacing the pole — protecting against charger obsolescence.
Brand & Visibility
Charging stations are brand touchpoints. Custom powder-coat colors, graphics, and LED provisions make a station visible and on-brand — turning a pole into a statement.

09 / FAQ
EV Charger Pedestal FAQ
Does the pedestal include the charger?
No — we fabricate the sheet metal pedestal structure: pole, anchor base, mounting and front panels, and access panels, powder-coated and ready for integration. The EV charger unit, electrical wiring, cable retractors, and any LED lighting are supplied and installed by you or your electrician. We build the pedestal with mounting provisions sized to your charger.
Is it compatible with our charger?
Send the charger's mounting pattern, mass, cable-entry and service-clearance requirements. We can quote a pedestal and front panel built to those released interfaces. Compatibility remains specific to the reviewed charger model.
Single or dual — what's the difference?
A single pedestal holds one charger; a dual mounts a charger on each side to serve two parking bays from one base — maximizing charging points per footprint, ideal for parking lots and fleets. We fabricate both.
Is it weatherproof and stable outdoors?
Yes. We build in galvanized steel or aluminum with a weatherproof powder coat (primer undercoat) for corrosion resistance, and a heavy anchor base welded to the pole for stability. Builds can be engineered for high wind loads, up to the released wind-load and anchoring design. The responsible engineer owns final validation.
Can you match our brand color and add graphics?
Yes — powder coat in your RAL or brand color with a primer undercoat, plus vinyl graphics and provisions for integrated LED lighting. Charging stations are brand touchpoints, and we can make yours visible and on-brand.
What's your minimum order quantity?
We support everything from a single prototype to network-scale rollouts. Send us your charger and design requirements and we'll confirm MOQ and pricing for your project.
