Column outside the door swing
A cantilever from a single row of columns behind the bays leaves the whole bay clear. The column lands in the island or on the kerb line, where it also protects the charger from a misjudged reverse.
E-mobility · Charging hubs
Charging bays,
covered around the charger.
Cantilever and T-shaped canopies laid out around your charger positions, cable routes and bay markings — not forced into a standard parking module.
- Columns out of the bay, not in it
- Single or double row around charger islands
- PV-ready and lighting-ready frames
01 What the canopy has to solve
The charger decides
the layout.
Chargers sit on islands, at the head of a bay, or on a shared pedestal. Each arrangement needs a different canopy: one that clears the cabinet doors, keeps the cable off the ground, and does not put a column where a driver opens a door.
Cabinet doors and cable reach
Service doors open sideways and cables retract upward. The canopy edge and the frame depth are set so neither hits the structure, and the cable never rests on the membrane.
Cable trays and water
Cable trays run inside or under the frame; gutters must not discharge onto a charger base or a cable. Downpipes are taken to the edge of the paved area, away from the equipment.
PV and lighting, later
A frame detailed for an array and for luminaires costs little more at design stage and a great deal to retrofit. Say so before the drawing is issued, not after the concrete is poured.
02 Configuration
Two layouts cover
most charging sites.
A single row of cantilever bays along a boundary, or a T-shape with the chargers on a central spine and bays on both sides. Larger hubs combine both, with a barrel vault over the spine and cantilevers on the outer rows.

04 How it works
From your drawing
to the container.
Every project follows the same four steps. Nothing is cut until the drawing is approved and the deposit is received.
- 01
Send the charger layout
Charger model and cabinet dimensions, bay count, island positions, cable routes and photos of the site.
- 02
Canopy drawing
Column grid around the islands, roof edge clearances, cable tray route and drainage, with the calculation.
- 03
Fixed quotation
Price per bay against the drawing, including the membrane, frame finish and delivery terms.
- 04
Production and packing
Frame and membrane made to the approved drawing, packed flat with a fixing plan for your installer.
05 Questions
Before you
send a drawing.
Something not covered here? Send the question on WhatsApp — we answer in English. All questions
Do you supply the chargers?
No. We design and manufacture the structure. You keep your charger supplier, and we design around their cabinet dimensions, door swing, cable retraction and mounting base.
Can the canopy be added to a charging site that is already open?
Often, yes. The work is sequenced so the site stays usable: foundations and columns first, membrane lifted last. If the chargers are already energised, the sequence and the exclusion zones are agreed before mobilisation.
Is the structure ready for solar panels?
It can be. Tell us the array weight and the fixing layout and the purlins are sized for it. Panels, inverter and electrical design are by others.
How many bays fit in one container?
It varies with bay size and membrane form. The packing list for your actual order states cartons, volume and weight, and the loading plan shows how the container is filled.
Send a photo and a dimension. Get a drawing, then a price.
No catalogue numbers, no online checkout. Tell us the site, the span and the destination, and the quotation is built against the layout you approve.
