KAPU — The Safety Pole that protects what matters most
Introducing KAPU®, the Finnish safety pole reimagining road safety. Engineered to save lives and reduce serious injuries, KAPU® stands as a beacon of safety for all road users.
Let’s protect our communities, one pole at a time—because safer roads mean a safer future for everyone.
KAPU®-HE – an energy-absorbent safety pole
The KAPU®-HE safety pole stops vehicles safely by absorbing collision energy, protecting drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists. Ideal for high-traffic areas and intersections, KAPU®-HE enhances safety where risks are highest.
Meeting the highest EN 12767 standard requirements, the conical KAPU®-HE pole is suitable for use on all roads to improve traffic safety. Available in 8m and 10m, it also meets the top passenger safety category, HE, 3.
KAPU®-NE – Break-away vehicle safety pole
KAPU®-NE poles give way to vehicles safely in the event of a collision. The Finnish Transport Agency’s recommendation is to use KAPU®-NE poles in places where there are no pedestrian paths, bicycle paths or trees behind the poles.
The height of the EN 12767-compliant and CE-certified poles vary from 4 to 15 metres. The conical steel pole, also suitable for mounting on bridges, is hot-dip galvanised. KAPU-NE is in the standard category 100, NE, 2.
