Global safety innovator Swivelpole™ has officially launched its European operations, bringing over 25 years of lowering pole technology. With a new office and warehouse in Rotterdam, the company is primed to support commercial and industrial industries across Europe and the UK with safer, smarter, and more cost-effective retrofit solutions.
Swivelpole™ is the trusted choice of leading companies in the world’s toughest environments – now accessible locally for European projects.
Swivelpole’s retrofit offering makes access easy, by offering existing handrail mounted poles to be converted to lowering poles by installing a Maxis™ joint using the pole conversion tool kit. With the ability to safely lower pole mounted equipment to walkway level, the system eliminates the need for ladders, scaffolding, or aerial work platforms. The result is faster, safer and more affordable upgrades, maintenance and inspection without disrupting operations.
“Installing a Swivelpole™ costs less than building scaffolding,” said Amy Olsen, Group General Manager at Swivelpole™. “We’re thrilled to bring our proven retrofit solutions to Europe and the UK, helping companies upgrade infrastructure, switch to LED lighting, improve maintenance access and boost safety with minimal investment.”
With industrial sectors across Europe and the UK racing to modernise ageing infrastructure, improve workplace safety, and meet environmental targets, Swivelpole™ offers a cost effective and safe solution. The technology is ideal for retrofitting legacy sites and brownfield projects, providing a compliant, engineered solution for safe access to lights and pole-mounted equipment.
Swivelpole™ transforms existing poles into safer, more efficient lowering poles using the globally patented Maxis™ joint, allowing equipment to be lowered to walkway level for maintenance. This innovation eliminates the need to work at heights, significantly reducing safety risks while enabling faster LED upgrades and routine servicing. By streamlining access, it reduces operational costs and downtime, while its engineering and certification to European safety standards ensures compliance across industries. Backed by a ten-year warranty, Swivelpole™ delivers long-term confidence and performance in even the most demanding environments.
The official European launch has now opened up new markets, providing global expertise with locally available stock.
Swivelpole™ now stocks all standard products at its Rotterdam Distribution Centre, ensuring fast shipping across Europe and the UK. The company’s products are manufactured to IEC standards and carry both CE and UKCA markings for compliance in the EU and UK. Backed by decades of global experience, the team offers guidance and is available to discuss specific projects and requirements upon request. Technical drawings and related documentation are available on the website.
With over 500,000 installations worldwide, Swivelpole™ continues to lead the way in safety, performance, and reliability across Oil & Gas, Mining, Industrial, Infrastructure, and Commercial sectors.
