30 Foot Round Tapered Steel Light Pole | 7 Inch Base Diameter | Anchor Base | High Wind Zone Rated

Product Overview

This 30-foot round tapered steel light pole is built for anchor base installation and rated for high wind zone applications. The pole tapers from a 7-inch base diameter to a 3-inch tip diameter, constructed from 7-gauge steel with a total weight of 300 pounds.

The finish is hot dip galvanized and powder coated in bronze. This dual-layer finish process provides corrosion protection under the powder coat layer. The bolt circle range is 9.8 to 11.4 inches with a bolt projection of 3.15 inches.

Where This Product Fits Best

This pole is appropriate for sites requiring 30-foot mounting height with anchor base foundations. The EPA ratings across wind speeds from 70 mph to 150 mph make this pole suitable for installations in designated high wind zones where fixture and arm loading must be calculated against local code requirements.

The round tapered profile and bronze powder coat finish fit commercial, institutional, and municipal site lighting applications where appearance and structural performance are both considerations.

Performance and Functional Considerations

EPA ratings define the maximum effective projected area of fixtures and mounting arms the pole can support at a given wind speed. At 90 mph, this pole supports up to 7.9 square feet EPA. At 110 mph, the capacity drops to 5.4 square feet. At 150 mph, the rating is 1.2 square feet EPA.

Fixture and arm combinations must be calculated against the applicable wind speed for the installation site. Local building codes or engineering requirements will determine which EPA threshold applies. The 7-gauge steel wall thickness supports the structural ratings across the full wind speed range listed.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Anchor base installation requires a poured concrete foundation with embedded anchor bolts positioned within the 9.8 to 11.4 inch bolt circle range. Bolt projection of 3.15 inches must be accounted for in foundation design. The pole base plate mounts directly over the anchor bolts and secures with appropriate hardware.

At 300 pounds, this pole typically requires mechanical lifting equipment for safe positioning. The hot dip galvanized layer under the powder coat provides long-term corrosion resistance, which reduces maintenance frequency in outdoor exposure conditions.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facility operators and site managers rely on poles like this for parking lot lighting, roadway lighting, and perimeter lighting where a 30-foot height serves the coverage requirements of the fixture layout. The bronze finish is frequently selected for sites with architectural guidelines or aesthetic standards.

Once installed, these poles require minimal ongoing attention. Periodic inspection of the base hardware and finish condition is standard practice. The anchor base design allows for level adjustment during installation but is a permanent mount style that does not allow for repositioning without foundation modification.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This pole carries a 1-year warranty. The structural ratings are published for wind speeds from 70 mph through 150 mph to support engineering review and code compliance verification at the project level.

The hot dip galvanized and powder coated finish meets standard commercial and municipal site requirements for outdoor steel pole installations.
