Our 40 foot Class 4 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 40 foot Class 4 wood utility pole made from Southern Yellow Pine. The pole is CCA treated for rot and decay resistance. It is designed for direct burial installation, with 34 feet of height above grade and 6 feet below grade.
The pole meets ANSI O5.1 specification for Class 4 utility poles. It has a minimum pole top circumference of 21 inches and a minimum circumference of 33.5 inches measured 6 feet from the butt. The pole weight ranges from 1080 to 1270 pounds.
This pole is suitable for supporting electrical infrastructure, including power distribution lines and related equipment. Cross arms are available as an accessory and can be configured based on project requirements.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 40 foot Class 4 Southern Yellow Pine pole is used in electrical distribution systems where a 34 foot above-grade height is required. It is suitable for outdoor environments where direct burial installation is standard practice.
The CCA treatment allows the pole to be used in locations where long-term exposure to moisture and soil contact is expected. The pole is appropriate for utility, municipal, and commercial power distribution projects.
It is commonly selected for new installations, system upgrades, or replacement of existing wood poles in similar size and class.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The Class 4 rating defines the pole's strength and load capacity. This pole supports a cross-arm capacity of 240 pounds, which is suitable for typical distribution line hardware and conductors.
The CCA treatment protects the wood from rot and decay, supporting long-term structural integrity in direct burial applications. The Southern Yellow Pine material provides a balance of strength and workability for field modifications if required.
Physical dimensions, including pole top and butt diameters, are specified to ensure compatibility with standard hardware and installation practices.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is installed using direct burial, with 6 feet of the total length placed below grade. Standard installation equipment and methods for wood utility poles apply.
Once installed, the CCA treatment helps maintain pole condition over time, even in wet or variable soil conditions. The 1 year warranty is provided by LED Lighting Supply.
Cross arms can be added as needed, with sizing determined by the pole height and application requirements. The pole's weight and dimensions should be considered when planning for transport and handling on site.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, this 40 foot wood pole provides a stable mounting point for power distribution lines, transformers, and related equipment. The 34 foot above-grade height allows for proper conductor clearance and line routing.
Field crews can attach cross arms, insulators, and other hardware using standard utility practices. The CCA treatment reduces the need for frequent inspection or replacement due to decay.
Operators can expect consistent performance in outdoor environments, with the pole supporting electrical infrastructure as part of a larger distribution network.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
