This 45 foot Class 1 wood utility pole is a strong choice for outdoor power distribution, telecommunications, or lighting support where high load capacity and durability are essential. Its Southern Yellow Pine construction, CCA treatment, and compliance with ANSI O5.1 ensure structural strength and resistance to rot in wet or variable climates. The direct burial design simplifies installation without separate foundations, and the pole supports 2 to 4 cross arms at 240 pounds each, accommodating multiple circuits or equipment. This makes it well suited for substations, large parking lots, roadway corridors, and other heavy-duty infrastructure requiring above-ground heights near 40 feet.

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.

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.

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.
