To support the expansion of electric charging stations Hauff-Technik has creted an innovative and universal foundation for the installation of charging stations. The Universal Charging Station Foundation (short ULF) is an absolute lightweight and offers the user a simple foundation solution for the installation of charging columns and charging pedestals for different types of charging columns and installation situations. ULF is used in public, semi-public and also private parking lots and charging locations.
Hauff-Technik has created the universal charging station foundation, ULF, which serves as an innovative solution for the installation of charging stations. ULF offers a flexible foundation for different types of charging stations and charging points, catering to various installation situations. This foundation is suitable for use in parking lots and charging locations across public, commercial, and private sectors.
As part of a €6.3 billion package, the German federal government is accelerating the expansion of the electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The goal is to establish a comprehensive and user-friendly charging network with 1 million publicly accessible charging points by 2030. By 2022, only around 75,000 public charging points were available in Germany. In addition, many charging points are installed in semi-public areas, such as business parking lots, further contributing to the growing demand for EV charging solutions. This focus on EV charging infrastructure underlines the importance of electromobility as a critical aspect of Germany’s energy transition strategy, aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable transport options.
The German government is actively promoting the expansion of electromobility through a comprehensive support package, which includes incentives such as purchase premiums for electric vehicles and setting minimum standards for developing charging infrastructure.
For example, fast-charging points are expected to charge electric vehicle batteries up to 80% in about 20 minutes. To facilitate Europe-wide tenders, the Fast Charging Law (Schnellladegesetz) provides the necessary legal framework.
In addition, the Charging Station Ordinance (Ladesäulenverordnung) is designed to make payments at public charging stations easier. Moving forward, charging station operators must offer contactless payments through common debit or credit cards as a minimum requirement for ad-hoc charging.
Hauff-Technik’s Universal Charging Station Foundation (ULF) is designed to meet future demands by allowing the integration of power and data cables via conduit systems. This feature is crucial for enabling fast ad-hoc charging and standardized contactless payments, ensuring the ULF is well-prepared for the evolving needs of the electromobility sector.
Hauff-Technik understands the challenges in construction, particularly regarding cable and pipe entries. Our expertise lies in providing efficient solutions for these needs. The universal charging station foundation, ULF, is designed to support customized charging concepts in various parking environments. ULF serves as a solid foundation for electromobility and is prepared to meet future requirements.
For commercial or public sectors, ULF creates a robust charging infrastructure tailored for your B2B or B2C needs. It ensures that customers, employees, suppliers, guests, and visitors can conveniently charge their vehicles in commercial or public parking lots. Hauff-Technik lays the groundwork for modern charging infrastructure with ULF, which is specifically suited for larger charging stations, unlike our ETGAR model.
For private applications, Hauff-Technik offers ETGAR, a complete system for electricity distribution across the property. The house connection efficiently channels electricity from the building, facilitating distribution throughout the grounds. The ETGAR foundation box functions as a ready-to-install foundation system for smaller charging stations commonly found in residential settings.
Hauff-Technik’s charging infrastructure enables you to play a vital role in the comprehensive expansion of electric mobility without the burden of high costs or complex installations. The universal charging station foundation, ULF, is specifically designed for the installation of charging stations and charging points. It mounts securely on a polymer concrete slab (FX4), showcasing significant advantages over traditional precast foundations. The connection of electrical and data cables is made easy through a conduit system.

The connection of electrical and data cables is made easy through a conduit system.
The polymer concrete foundation (FX4) offers remarkable properties that set it apart from precast foundations or those poured on-site. With its exceptional durability and stability, the ULF weighs less than 60 kg, making it lightweight and easy to transport, allowing for a one-person installation while maintaining robust support. The incorporation of conduits ensures that ULF remains versatile and future-proof.
Currently, ULF is available in configurations including a foundation slab of 380 x 380 mm with a foundation pipe diameter of 250 mm, or a foundation slab of 470 x 470 mm paired with a foundation pipe of 300 mm in diameter.
Hauff-Technik not only offers building entry systems but also innovative solutions for underground power distribution in outdoor spaces, along with foundation systems for charging stations, lighting poles, and various other applications.
As a specialist in building penetrations, Hauff-Technik ensures that wherever cables pass through structures, the building remains securely sealed and utilities are safely routed inside.

ULF offers a flexible foundation for different types of charging stations and charging points, catering to various installation situations. This foundation is suitable for use in parking lots and charging locations across public, commercial, and private sectors.
The ULF serves as a versatile foundation for charging stations and charging posts. Power and data cables are introduced through an empty conduit connection, facilitating seamless integration. The charging station is affixed to the base plate made of polymer concrete and connected accordingly. This universal foundation can be easily bolted on-site, significantly simplifying the installation process. Consequently, a stable and secure installation of charging stations is achieved. Additionally, the foundation pipe enables the effective distribution of media lines, ensuring a tidy and efficient infrastructure setup.
The Charging Station Ordinance specifies the technical minimum requirements for charging stations to enhance the development and operation of Germany's charging infrastructure. One of the most critical components of a charging station is its foundation. Currently, there is no standardized foundation defined at the federal level.
Typically, the market utilizes precast concrete foundations that are either buried or poured on-site. This installation method can be cumbersome and often requires heavy machinery like cranes or excavators. Additionally, the durability and stability of a charging station largely depend on the quality of the concrete.
Hauff-Technik's universal charging station foundation is crafted from polymer concrete (FX4), which provides several benefits, including a lightweight structure, a smooth surface, chemical resistance, and low water absorption. The core body is made of PVC, which can be adjusted on-site to meet specific height requirements, facilitating easier and more flexible installation.
The universal charging station foundation ULF from Hauff-Technik offers numerous advantages in the comparison of foundations for charging stations and charging points. With a weight of under 60 kg and a length that can be adjusted on-site, the ULF foundation is easy to install without the need for cranes or excavators, unlike other prefabricated foundations. Its lightweight design and integrated cable management system facilitate a one-person installation process.
