If you are familiar with our pedestals you will recognize the value you get from each of our designs. If you are considering another supplier, this information will safeguard you from spending your good money on an inferior product. Let’s take one feature at a time:

Steel
All our pedestals are made using 11 gauge (.120”) steel unless otherwise noted. Many other suppliers make theirs using 14 gauge (.083”) material increasing the chance of damage during shipping or wobbling after installation.

Faceplates
Our faceplate designs use a universal hole pattern that fit hundreds (if not thousands) of electronics on the market. Faceplate hole patterns on competing pedestals may be limited or totally proprietary to certain lines of electronics.

Base Plates
All our base plates are heavy gauge. Other suppliers will often use smaller or lighter gauge base plates to cut costs. If a base plate is too light, it can affect your quality installation.

Cover Plates
All of our pad mount pedestals come with cover plates. This is unique. Other manufactures have some with and some without. Those without will cost you extra.

Neck Throw
Each PedestalCEO neck is bent with a 6.0” center radius giving it a tight, professional look. This requires a substantial tooling investment. Compare this to other suppliers that cut these cost corners by varying their necks from 7” to 9” centers. These “looser” neck don’t look as tight and don’t provide the quality appearance you are probably looking for. Beware of some vendors that weld their necks and don’t bend at all. These have been some of the most poorly made pedestals we have seen.

Washing & Powdercoating
Many don’t clean their steel well (or at all) which lessens the bonding between the baked-on powder and steel. In this case, paint chipping can occur easily. Also, many use an epoxy powdercoat that is meant for indoor applications allowing the finish color to fade easily in the sun.

Our finish work is thorough. Our powdercoating process includes a 3-stage wash cycle, drying, a thorough covering of an outdoor-use polyester powdercoat, baking to powder’s manufacturing specifications, and rapid cool down. Our pedestals are built to last in the outdoor weather. We put more work into our powdercoating but it provides longer life and greater satisfaction for your customers.

Boxing & Hardware
All pedestals are boxed individually with the necessary carriage bolt hardware. Our competitors don’t include hardware which can cost an installer valuable time in the field.
