Galvanized Steel Closed AC Bus Shelter-HCT-0126

Product Overview

The Galvanized Steel Closed AC Bus Shelter HCT-0126 sets a new standard for climate-controlled transit comfort in harsh environments, combining robust galvanized steel construction with integrated air conditioning to create protected waiting spaces. This fully enclosed shelter provides year-round passenger comfort, shielding commuters from extreme temperatures, heavy precipitation, and strong winds while maintaining excellent ventilation and visibility. Designed for regions with challenging climates, it balances durability with energy efficiency, making it a long-lasting investment for transit authorities prioritizing passenger experience.

Product Features

Heavy-Duty Galvanized Construction

Built with 3mm hot-dip galvanized steel frame (80μm zinc coating) providing superior corrosion resistance, certified to withstand 5000 hours of salt spray testing without visible rust. The shelter features welded corner joints (instead of bolted connections) for enhanced structural integrity, with all external surfaces treated with polyester powder coating (RAL 9006) for additional protection and aesthetic appeal. The roof uses 2mm aluminum panels with PVDF coating to resist UV degradation and color fading.

Climate Control System

Equipped with a 1.5HP inverter air conditioning unit with heating capability, maintaining interior temperatures between 18°C–26°C regardless of external conditions from -25°C to 45°C. The AC system features energy-saving mode that reduces power consumption by 30% during low occupancy, activated by integrated passenger sensors. A HEPA air filtration system removes 99.97% of airborne particles, ensuring clean air circulation within the enclosed space.

Protected Visibility & Safety

Side panels use 8mm tempered glass with anti-shatter film and UV protection, providing clear visibility while withstanding impacts. The glass features electrochromic dimming capability (optional) to reduce glare during sunny conditions. Emergency features include push-button alarm system connected to transit authorities, emergency exit door with panic bar, and backup lighting activated during power outages.

Application

Ideal for regions with extreme climates—both hot/humid and cold/snowy environments where passenger comfort is critical. Perfect for busy urban transit stops, airport shuttle stations, and hospital campus stops where protected waiting areas improve accessibility. Enhances transit experiences in industrial zones and coastal areas where corrosion resistance is essential. Suitable for cities implementing transit equity initiatives by providing accessible climate-controlled waiting spaces for all passengers.

FAQ

Q: How energy-efficient is the AC system?

A: The inverter technology adjusts cooling/heating output based on demand, consuming only 0.8–1.2kWh during typical operation. The occupancy sensor reduces power usage by 30% when the shelter is unoccupied, while the system automatically switches to ventilation mode during mild weather to minimize energy consumption.

Q: What maintenance is required for the galvanized steel structure?

The hot-dip galvanized finish requires minimal maintenance—only annual inspection for damage and cleaning with mild detergent. The coating provides 15+ years of corrosion protection in most environments, with a 20-year warranty against rust perforation under normal conditions.

Q: How is the shelter secured against unauthorized access?

The main entrance features a magnetic lock system that remains unlocked during transit hours and secures automatically after hours. All access panels use security fasteners, and the AC unit is protected by a steel cage. Optional CCTV integration and motion sensors provide additional security monitoring.

Q: Is the shelter accessible for passengers with mobility devices?

Yes, it features a 1200mm wide entryway with no threshold, ADA-compliant bench height (450mm), and 500mm clear floor space throughout. The climate control system maintains consistent temperatures beneficial for passengers with health conditions sensitive to extreme weather.
