Pedestal mounting poles, gooseneck poles, intercom poles, steel pedestals, they have many names, but their overall function is to support an intercom or telephone entry system at an entry point such as a door or gate. You want a pole that is heavy-duty and can withstand the harsh elements they are used in. For gate entry systems, you also need a pole that is the appropriate height for the various sized vehicles that you expect to arrive at your gate.
There are two choices for mounting these poles. Pad mount poles are mounted with bolts to a concrete slab. Ground mount poles are inserted into a hole and then concrete is poured into the hole to hold the pole in place.
