Description
This robust, heavy-duty pad mount pedestal is designed for card readers and pedestrian and vehicle access control (refer to “Vehicle Height Chart” for details). It supports mounting of cameras, intercoms, keypads, entry/exit buttons, biometric readers, telephone entry systems, housings, and a range of other access control devices. Ideal for use in automatic gate entry and exit, parking lots, and perimeter access scenarios, this pedestal features a face plate with universal hole patterns, a sturdy base plate, and a sliding cover plate to conceal the mounting bolts. Unlike other pedestals, which may be constructed from .074″ wall tubing, this pedestal is crafted from .120″ wall tubing, involving 62% more steel for enhanced durability against vandalism and harsh environmental conditions. It has successfully passed wind resistance tests, proving its ability to withstand sustained Category 5 hurricane winds of up to 157 mph.
Key features include an architectural neck cut and welded design that facilitates easy wiring from the ground to the access control device, ensuring convenient installation. The pedestal undergoes bead-blasting to remove contaminants and imperfections before receiving a powder-coated outdoor-rated TGIC polyester finish with UV protection, ensuring longevity in various weather conditions. Each unit includes carriage bolt hardware, securely wrapped in foam packaging, and individually boxed for safe transport. Customization options for colors, heights, reaches, face plates, and base plates are available, though additional costs and lead times may apply. The pedestal is frequently purchased with a mounting bolt kit and card reader housing to provide a comprehensive turnkey solution. As the leading manufacturer of access control pedestals, Pedestal PRO supports a global network of systems integrators and security professionals.
