What Are Snow Poles and Why Are They Needed?
Roadside snow poles are tall edge markers that show drivers and snow plough crews where the road edge is when lane lines and shoulders disappear under heavy snow. On mountain passes, high-altitude roads and routes exposed to blizzards, they help keep vehicles on the road and allow snow clearing to be carried out safely.
Product Options
- 3 m steel snow pole, 1.5 mm wall thickness
- 3 m steel snow pole, 2 mm wall thickness
- 3 m steel snow pole, 3 mm wall thickness
Choosing and Installing
Thicker walls make a pole more resistant to impacts, wind and snow load, so heavier models suit routes with frequent plough traffic. Install the poles at regular intervals along the road edge so the top stays visible even as snow builds up. For large tender or municipal orders, please contact us.
Frequently Asked Questions
How tall should a snow pole be? It depends on expected snow depth, but 3 m is widely used so the top of the pole stays visible on snow-covered roads.
Which wall thickness should I choose? 1.5 mm suits lighter use, while 2 mm or 3 mm is better for routes with a high risk of impact.
