Our 55 foot Class 3 CCA Treated Southern Yellow Pine Poles are grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. They are manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Poles are treated with preservatives to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards to ensure rot and decay prevention. The long term durability of a wood utility pole is one of its main benefits
Cross arms are available for our Southern Yellow Pine poles as an optional accessory. Configuration and sizing are determined based on project requirements, as well as the height and class of the selected pole. We offer both 8-foot and 10-foot cross arms, our product specialists can help confirm the appropriate size for your application.
Delivery is made with a standard flatbed truck depending on pole lengths and the customer is responsible for offloading. Offloading requires a fork lift or appropriate similar vehicle to offload - customer supplied. Customer is responsible for any costs associated with delivery rescheduling because of improper scheduling or not having the proper offloading equipment available at time of delivery. Installation should be done by a trained professional.
Pricing: Does not include price of shipping. Shipping is available to the lower 48 USA states. We can supply a budgetary shipping quote or a firm shipping quote that is good for 14 days.
Disclaimer: LED Lighting Supply is not responsible for improper loading (ie what is mounted to the pole), installation costs, or foundation design of light poles. Dimensions and specifications of poles are subject to change without notice but the pole top and butt dimensions will always be within ANSI specifications. Wood poles are the ideal option for most field projects as concrete poles require more frequent maintenance and replacement. While our main product line is southern yellow pine, we at times are able to offer other species including douglas fir and red pine. CCA treatment generally will result in the poles being free of insects for decades to come.
Please be advised that our wood poles are covered solely by a 1-year workmanship warranty, which ensures that the poles are free from defects from the manufacturing process, and structural integrity, for a period of one year from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover damage resulting from external factors, misuse, or normal wear and tear.

Product Overview
This is a 55 foot wood utility pole manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine. The pole is treated with CCA for long-term durability and resistance to rot and decay. It is built to ANSI Class 3 standards and is designed for direct burial installation.
The pole has a total height of 55 feet, with 47.5 feet above grade and 7.5 feet below grade once installed. Minimum pole top circumference is 23 inches, and minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt is 40.5 inches. The pole weight ranges from 2070 to 2440 pounds.
Cross arms are available as an accessory in 8-foot and 10-foot lengths. These are specified based on project requirements and pole configuration.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 55 foot Class 3 Southern Yellow Pine pole is suited for commercial and municipal lighting installations where a tall, durable wood pole is required. It is commonly used in outdoor environments where direct burial is preferred.
The pole is appropriate for applications that require ANSI Class 3 load capacity and where CCA treatment is needed for weather and decay resistance. Typical uses include roadway lighting, area lighting, and utility distribution in large outdoor spaces.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The CCA treatment provides resistance to rot and decay, supporting long-term use in outdoor and damp environments. The Southern Yellow Pine construction offers strength and stability for lighting and utility applications.
With a minimum pole top outside diameter of 7.3 inches and 12.9 inches at 6 feet from the butt, the pole supports mounting of standard lighting fixtures and cross arms. The direct burial design eliminates the need for separate base plates or anchor systems.
The pole's ANSI Class 3 rating and weight range of 2070-2440 pounds define its load capacity and handling requirements during installation.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is designed for direct burial installation, with 7.5 feet of the total length below grade. Proper burial depth is critical for stability and compliance with standard installation practices.
The CCA treatment protects the wood from decay and insect damage over time. Routine inspection of the pole and any attached hardware is recommended to maintain structural integrity.
Cross arms can be added as needed, with sizing determined by the specific application and pole height. All mounting and attachment work should follow standard utility pole installation procedures.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Once installed, this 55 foot wood pole provides a stable mounting point for area and roadway lighting fixtures. The height allows for wide-area coverage in parking lots, streets, and large outdoor facilities.
Operators can add cross arms to support multiple fixtures or utility lines as required by the site layout. The treated wood construction stands up to outdoor exposure and routine maintenance cycles.
In day-to-day use, the pole serves as a structural support for lighting and utility hardware, with minimal interaction required beyond periodic inspection and maintenance of attached equipment.
