4.5m Square‑Section CCTV Column, Fixed Base, Hot‑Dip Galvanised, ACC1FBLA

Introduction to the ACC1FBLA — 4.5m Square‑Section CCTV Column

The ACC1FBLA is a 4.5 m square‑section fixed‑base column purpose‑built for CCTV and small lighting installations. Designed with practical site use in mind, this column combines high‑tensile steel construction, hot‑dip galvanised protection and lockable internal access to deliver a secure, durable mounting solution. Supplied in modular sections for easier transport and assembly, the ACC1FBLA is aimed at installers and specifiers who need a robust, low‑maintenance column that accommodates cabling and equipment while meeting everyday site demands.

• 4.5 m fixed height square‑section column suitable for CCTV and small PTZ cameras.
• High‑tensile steel construction with hot‑dip galvanised finish applied after fabrication.
• Lockable flush access doors with internal cableway to secure cabling and equipment.
• Modular design for straightforward on‑site assembly and simplified transport.
• Base plate designed to be bolted to a concrete foundation; foundation template and anchor bolt guidance provided in the manufacturer datasheet.

Detailed specifications and benefits

The ACC1FBLA is engineered to balance structural strength, corrosion resistance and installer convenience. Below are the key specification highlights, followed by the main benefits they deliver.

• Model / SKU:ACC1FBLA

• Durability:Hot‑dip galvanising after fabrication provides long‑term corrosion protection, making the column suitable for exposed outdoor environments and reducing maintenance needs.
• Security:Lockable flush access doors and internal cableway keep cabling and ancillary equipment protected against tampering and weather ingress.
• Installer friendly:The modular design reduces transport and handling complexity, and the access doors simplify cable termination and equipment mounting.
• Adaptability:Optional factory paint finishes allow the column to be colour‑matched to site aesthetics or corporate branding after galvanising.
• Value proposition:With a suggested price of 3475.00 and a cost price of 391.50, the ACC1FBLA aims to offer competitive value for a galvanised, secure fixed‑base column in its category.

Use cases and scenarios where the ACC1FBLA excels

The ACC1FBLA is well suited to a range of typical CCTV and lighting scenarios. It is particularly useful where security, durability and neat cable management are priorities.

• Public space surveillance:Parks, town centres, transport hubs and car parks where a permanent, tamper‑resistant mount is required for fixed CCTV cameras or small PTZ heads.
• Commercial and retail sites:Shopping centres and retail parks benefit from a secure, neat mounting structure that conceals cabling and provides a professional aesthetic.
• Industrial sites and depots:Yards and perimeters where robust, corrosion‑resistant columns are needed to support cameras and small illumination fixtures.
• Highway and roadside CCTV:For monitoring junctions, entrances and loading bays where a fixed 4.5 m height provides adequate coverage without the complexity of taller columns.
• Temporary or staged installations:Modular sections make it straightforward to transport to sites with limited access or to preassemble components before final installation.

• If you require a permanent mounting solution with a secure internal cableway and lockable access.
• When corrosion resistance is important due to exposure to the elements; the hot‑dip galvanised finish provides long‑lasting protection.
• Where site aesthetics and neatness matter — flush doors and optional paint finishes help integrate the column with the surroundings.

How the ACC1FBLA compares with similar products

Choosing the right column depends on height, load capacity, access type, finish and price. Below are several comparison points to consider when evaluating the ACC1FBLA against other offerings.

Many competitors offer either painted steel or pre‑galvanised finishes. The ACC1FBLA is hot‑dip galvanised after fabrication, which generally provides superior corrosion protection compared with painted finishes alone and better longevity than shop‑primed options. Optional RAL/BS factory paint on top of galvanising is available for aesthetics, which some basic competitor models do not provide.

The ACC1FBLA provides lockable flush access doors and an internal cableway; some lower‑cost poles may use external clips or removable panels that offer less protection against tampering. For security‑sensitive sites, the ACC1FBLA’s integrated cableway and lockable doors are a significant advantage.

Modular sections for easier transport and on‑site assembly are common among professional columns. Where the ACC1FBLA stands out is the combination of modularity with a finished galvanised surface and bolted base plate design. However, final selection should consider headload and wind‑load tables — details that must be checked in the manufacturer’s datasheet before specifying.

With a suggested price of 3475.00, the ACC1FBLA sits in a mid‑range bracket for purpose‑built galvanised CCTV columns. Cheaper alternatives may omit galvanising or have less secure access, while premium models may include additional features such as integrated junction boxes, larger payload capacities or bespoke height options. Consider total ownership costs: longevity from galvanising and reduced maintenance can make the ACC1FBLA more economical over time.

Customer testimonials and review notes

At the time of writing there are no verified customer testimonials specifically for the ACC1FBLA available in the supplied data. For transparency, installers and specifiers should request case studies or references from their supplier. That said, common installer feedback for similarly specified galvanised, lockable fixed columns typically highlights the following:

• "Ease of assembly and transport" 12 installers appreciate modular sections when working on constrained sites.
• "Secure cable management" 12 lockable flush access and an internal cableway are praised for protecting terminations and preventing tampering.
• "Long‑term corrosion resistance" 12 hot‑dip galvanised finishes reduce maintenance and repainting needs compared with painted alternatives.

If you require verified reviews, ask the supplier for project references or look for independent case studies that demonstrate the ACC1FBLA in use.

Installation guidance, compliance and safety reminders

Proper installation by qualified personnel is essential. The column is designed to be bolted to a concrete foundation using a base plate; the Altron datasheet and catalogue provide the foundation template, anchor bolt sizes (example references show M16 anchors) and detailed headload and wind‑loading tables. Do not specify or install cameras or lighting heads without consulting these tables and verifying payload and overturning requirements.

Manufacturer certification (CE/UKCA) and detailed load data were not provided in the supplied information; always confirm certification and technical details with the supplier or manufacturer before installation.

Conclusion — Why choose the ACC1FBLA?

The ACC1FBLA 4.5 m square‑section fixed‑base CCTV column is a practical, robust option for a wide variety of CCTV and small lighting applications. Its high‑tensile steel construction, hot‑dip galvanised finish and lockable internal access combine to deliver a secure, low‑maintenance mounting solution. The modular design simplifies transport and on‑site assembly, and the option for factory paint allows the column to be integrated visually into most environments.

While final selection should always be informed by the official Altron datasheet — particularly for foundation, headload and wind‑loading details — the ACC1FBLA represents a good balance of durability, security and installer convenience at a competitive price point. For projects that need a dependable fixed column with secure cable management and long‑term corrosion protection, the ACC1FBLA is a strong candidate. Contact the supplier for datasheets, certification details and project references to confirm suitability for your specific installation requirements.
