Pedestal Mounting Poles
Heavy-gauge steel pedestal poles serve as steadfast protectors against Category 5 hurricanes and unpredictable natural forces. While known by various monikers such as gooseneck pedestals, card reader pedestals, or gate keypad posts, their purpose remains singular: These structures provide secure housing for essential entry point devices such as intercoms, cameras, biometric readers, card readers, keypads, and telephone entry systems.These pedestals made from heavy-duty steel demonstrate exceptional durability and remain functional under the toughest environmental conditions. A standardized mounting hole pattern allows these pedestals to work with multiple industry-standard systems which guarantees they fit with different security arrangements. These pedestals provide flexible options through different finishes and configurations designed to suit multiple vehicle heights and device setups.
Furthermore, our commitment extends beyond off-the-shelf solutions. Our team creates custom pedestals following your specific requirements which integrate flawlessly into your security system. Visit the page's conclusion to discover additional information regarding our tailor-made options.
To learn how to choose the correct pedestal size for your needs you should review the detailed information below. The Pedestal Installation Guide provides detailed steps for installing our pedestals which enable an effortless setup of your security systems.
Custom Solutions
If
you need a custom solution we offer free in-house engineering and
drawings within 48 hours of your request. Just email us a rough drawing
with measurements, tell us what you are mounting, and we will create a
CAD drawing for your approval.
Rather
that relying on a local metal fabrication shops for your custom
pedestal needs, which usually results in an amateur solution that
doesn't last very long and makes a poor impression on employees and
visitors, our shop will give you best-in-class, turn-key pedestal
options that meets the industry’s highest standards for strength and
construction.
There
are two categories of pedestal solutions, industrial and architectural.
Industrial pedestals are typically like the powder-coated gooseneck
mounting post you see in industrial environments. Architectural designs
are the brushed, stainless steel architectural tower-style pedestals
that would look good in a multi-million dollar office tower. The cost
difference is significant, but in architectural building construction it
is an insignificant amount.

Best Pedestals in the Industry
Our stainless steel card reader pedestals redefine industry standards with their unparalleled quality and resilience. Unlike competing products often crafted from thinner 0.074" wall tubes, ours are forged from robust 0.120" wall tubes, boasting 62% more steel. This substantial build is crucial for withstanding both vandalism and the relentless forces of Mother Nature.Undergoing rigorous face-wind testing equivalent to sustained Category 5 hurricane winds exceeding 150 miles per hour, our pedestals prove their mettle. Some have even endured wind speeds up to 600 mph, flexing a mere 2 millimeters—twice the velocity of the highest recorded tornado.
The excellence extends to the painted finish, meticulously prepared through bead-blasting to eliminate imperfections and contaminants. Each pedestal is then coated with a UV-protected, outdoor-rated polyester finish, ensuring longevity in any weather condition. Meanwhile, our stainless steel variants offer both rust protection and aesthetic appeal at a competitive price point.
A distinguishing feature lies in the concealed mounting holes for concrete fasteners, enhancing both security and aesthetics. Architectural pedestals feature an inside-out mounting mechanism accessed through a discreet panel, while gooseneck poles boast a base cover concealing the bolts.
These are just some of the applications for these access control pedestals: 
Card readers use proximity cards that allow visitors, employees or residents access to a property. A card reader pedestal mount is used to place the card reader near the access door. The card reader post is usually around 42" tall for people walking up to it. If the card reader uses wireless radio frequencies, we recommend using a plastic Buffer Plate mounted between the card reader pedestal and the card reader. This ensures that the metal of the pole does not interfere with the signal. We offer plastic buffer plates for this purpose.
Intercom Equipment
As an intercom post, these poles can hold wireless or wired intercom equipment. They have a standard gooseneck post mounting pattern on the mounting faceplate that is compatible with most intercom equipment. Custom poles can also be made.
Gate Access Control
One of the largest usages of these poles is as a gate keypad mounting post or a gate intercom post for the purpose of opening a security gate. As an intercom pole, they allow two-way communication and gate opening. If you add a video intercom you can also see visitors. If all you have is a keypad at the gate, then someone can enter a code to open the gate. You can also get intercoms with built in keypads that allow for both.
Card Readers
Card readers use proximity cards that allow visitors, employees or residents access to a property. A card reader pedestal mount is used to place the card reader near the access door. The card reader post is usually around 42" tall for people walking up to it. If the card reader uses wireless radio frequencies, we recommend using a plastic Buffer Plate mounted between the card reader pedestal and the card reader. This ensures that the metal of the pole does not interfere with the signal. We offer plastic buffer plates for this purpose.Every pedestal is wrapped in foam packaging and boxed individually for safe shipping.
