As an import manager or brand owner, you need more than just a product—you need a partner who can deliver authentic cast iron craftsmanship, consistent quality, competitive pricing, and reliable lead times.

Our clients come to us because we address these exact problems with a transparent, factory-direct approach. --- ## Our Solution: Engineered Antique Cast Iron Street Light Posts We produce a wide range of antique cast iron street light posts suitable for walkways, parks, parking lots, and historic streetscapes.

We operate automatic molding lines and manual sand casting cells, enabling us to handle both high-volume runs and low-volume custom prototypes. ### Quality Assurance – ISO 9001 Certified & Third-Party Tested We maintain ISO 9001:2015 certification for our quality management system. Every batch of castings undergoes rigorous checks: - Chemical composition analysis (spectrometer) - Tensile strength & hardness testing - Dimensional inspection using CMM - Salt spray corrosion resistance testing (up to 500 hours) - Load-bearing simulation for wind and snow loads (per ASCE 7-16) For US-bound shipments, we can also arrange UL/ETL listing for integrated electrical components (if required). ### OEM/ODM Design – Bring Your Vision to Life You supply the sketch, photo, or existing pattern – we produce the mold. Our engineering team has over 40 years of combined experience in ornamental casting. Common customizations include: - Adjustable base plate for bolting onto concrete piers - Internal wiring conduit placement (matched to US standard junction boxes) - Custom finials, scroll arms, and lantern brackets - Matching color finishes to existing municipal standards (federal highway powder-coat colors) ### High-Speed Delivery – Low MOQ, Fast Lead Times We understand that import managers work on tight schedules. Standard lead times (from pattern approval to finished product): | Phase | Timeframe | |-------|-----------| | Pattern & sample confirmation | 7–15 days | | Production (MOQ 50 pieces per design) | 25–35 days | | Custom finish (powder coat) | Additional 7–10 days | | Ocean freight to US West Coast | 20–30 days | Total time from order to receipt: **approximately 60–85 days** for most projects. **MOQ:** Flexible – as low as 50 pieces per design for standard models; custom patterns require a one-time tooling fee (typically $800–$2,000 depending on complexity). ### China’s Supply Chain Advantages – Direct from Foundry By working directly with us, you eliminate multiple middlemen. We offer: - **Competitive FOB pricing** from Tianjin/Xingang port - **CIF / Door-to-Door** options through our freight partners - **Protective packaging** – Heavy-duty wooden crates with foam inserts, shrink-wrapped, corner guards - **After-sales support** – 12-month warranty against casting defects; free repair or replacement parts for non-conforming items (excludes damage from improper installation) --- ## Application Scenarios: Where Our Antique Street Light Posts Thrive - **Historic Main Street Revitalization** Municipalities and downtown development authorities replicate turn-of-the-century lighting without compromising modern LED compatibility. Our posts integrate easily with 120V/277V LED luminaires. - **Private Community & Resort Entrances** Gated communities and luxury hotels use the ornate finials and fluted columns to establish a classic first impression. - **Parks & Public Gardens** The heavy-duty cast iron withstands accidental vehicle impact and severe weather better than aluminum or steel alternatives. - **Shopping Plazas & Mixed-Use Developments** Owners appreciate the low maintenance – a simple repainting every 5–7 years keeps the posts looking like new. --- ## Real Feedback from Our Clients --- ## Compliance & Standards: Meeting US Market Requirements While the cast iron structure itself requires no electrical listing, we ensure all integrated components (pre-wired conduits, junction boxes, lanterns) are UL/ETL listed or built to national electric code (NEC) specifications. Our factory complies with: - **ISO 9001:2015** – Quality management - **ASTM A48 / A536** – Material specifications - **ANSI C136.31** – Roadway lighting equipment (structural wind load) - **RoHS** – Restricted hazardous substances in finishes We can also produce to meet **ADA** requirements for base height and **ICC-ES** acceptance upon request. --- ## Technical Support & After-Sales Every order includes: - **Detailed engineering drawing** with dimensions and tolerances (PDF and DXF) - **Packing list** with bill of lading, certificate of origin, and material test reports - **Installation manual** (US English) with recommended concrete base specs and bolt patterns - **Spare parts program** – We keep patterns for at least 5 years so you can order replacement bases, finials, or access doors. --- ## Next Steps: Request a Quote or Sample Ready to start your project?
