- Minimal maintenance requirement

- A clutch-controlled slewing mechanism can be tightened/loosened to control how freely the arm pivots.  

- Bases are fully welded to the column – in most situations this removes the need for an oversized load spreading plate or setting an anchor frame into concrete, therefore making installation much quicker and more cost-effective.
