50 Foot Stadium Light Pole | 2 Cross Arms | 115 MPH Wind Rating

Product Overview

This 50-foot stadium light pole is constructed from 8-gauge S235 steel with a hot dip galvanized finish. The pole includes two 10-foot cross arms for fixture mounting and weighs 1,000 pounds. It is engineered for a 115 mph wind load rating.

The pole uses an anchor base installation method with eight anchor bolts. Each anchor bolt measures 43 inches in length with a 1.18-inch diameter. This configuration represents a standard build specification, though stadium poles are manufactured to order based on project-specific structural and environmental requirements.

Where This Product Fits Best

Stadium poles at this height are used to illuminate large outdoor areas where fixtures need to be positioned well above the playing surface or activity zone. The 50-foot height places light sources at an elevation suitable for athletic fields, outdoor recreational facilities, and large parking areas where wide coverage from elevated mounting points is required.

The 115 mph wind load rating determines the wind exposure conditions this pole can be installed in. Sites with higher sustained or gust wind speeds require a pole engineered for those specific conditions. Structural requirements vary by location and must be evaluated during project design.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The two 10-foot cross arms provide mounting positions for multiple fixtures on each arm. Cross arm length affects how fixtures can be aimed and spaced relative to the pole shaft. Longer arms allow fixtures to be positioned farther from the pole center, which can reduce shadowing from the pole itself.

Hot dip galvanizing provides corrosion resistance for outdoor steel structures. This finish is applied after fabrication, coating interior and exterior surfaces. The 8-gauge S235 steel construction contributes to the structural capacity required at this height and wind rating.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Anchor base installation requires a concrete foundation with embedded anchor bolts positioned to match the pole base pattern. The eight anchor bolts at 43 inches in length and 1.18 inches in diameter must be set according to the foundation design for the specific site conditions. Foundation engineering is separate from the pole itself and depends on soil conditions and local requirements.

At 1,000 pounds, this pole requires rigging equipment for installation. Field assembly, fixture mounting, and final erection typically involve crane work and a crew experienced with tall pole installations. Access for future fixture maintenance or replacement should be considered during site planning.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, the cross arms serve as the mounting platform for lighting fixtures aimed at the target area. Fixture positioning along the 10-foot arms and aiming angles are set during commissioning based on the photometric design for the site. Adjustments to fixture aim may be needed after initial installation to achieve the intended coverage.

The pole itself requires minimal ongoing attention after installation. Galvanized steel holds up to weather exposure without painting. Periodic inspection of the base connection, anchor bolts, and cross arm hardware is standard practice for tall pole installations.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This stadium pole is covered by a 1-year warranty. Stadium poles are built to order, and structural specifications are developed based on project-specific requirements including site wind exposure, fixture loads, and local code conditions.

The 115 mph wind load rating defines the maximum wind speed this pole configuration is engineered to withstand. Projects in areas with different wind exposure requirements need poles engineered accordingly.
