This 55 foot Class 1 Southern Yellow Pine utility pole is a strong choice for outdoor electrical distribution, roadway and area lighting, or telecommunications infrastructure where a tall, high-strength wood pole is needed. Its ANSI O5.1 Class 1 rating ensures reliable structural performance for heavy cross-arm loads or multiple circuits, while CCA treatment protects against rot and decay in direct burial and outdoor environments. Direct burial installation streamlines setup without separate foundations, and the pole's dimensions support standard hardware and field modifications. This makes it well-suited for commercial and industrial sites requiring durable, long-lasting pole-mounted lighting or utility support.

Our 55 foot Class 1 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 Class 1 wood utility pole made from Southern Yellow Pine. The pole is CCA treated for rot and decay resistance. It is engineered for direct burial installation and is designed for commercial and industrial infrastructure use.

The pole has a total height of 55 feet, with 47.5 feet above grade and 7.5 feet below grade when installed. It is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and meets Class 1 requirements for strength and dimensional standards.

The pole weight ranges from 2730 to 3230 lbs. Minimum pole top circumference is 27 inches, and minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt is 46.5 inches. Minimum pole top outside diameter is 8.6 inches, and outside diameter 6 feet from the butt is 14.8 inches.

Cross arms are available as an accessory and can be configured for 8-foot or 10-foot lengths based on project needs.

Where This Product Fits Best

This 55 foot Class 1 Southern Yellow Pine pole is suited for electrical distribution, telecommunications, and lighting infrastructure where a tall, high-strength wood pole is required.

It is used in commercial and industrial environments where direct burial installation is preferred and where CCA treatment is needed for long-term durability against rot and decay.

Applications include utility line support, roadway and area lighting, and telecommunication line mounting in outdoor settings.

The pole's Class 1 rating and cross-arm capacity support use in projects with significant structural and load requirements.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The Class 1 ANSI rating defines the pole's structural strength and dimensional tolerances. This supports use in installations with higher load demands, including multiple circuits or heavy cross-arm configurations.

CCA treatment extends the service life of the pole by protecting against rot and decay in direct burial and outdoor environments. Southern Yellow Pine provides a balance of strength and workability for field modifications or hardware attachment.

The 240 lbs cross-arm capacity allows for mounting of standard utility cross arms and associated equipment. Minimum top and butt dimensions ensure compatibility with standard hardware and mounting brackets.

Direct burial installation eliminates the need for separate mounting hardware or foundations, streamlining installation in most soil conditions.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This pole is designed for direct burial, with 7.5 feet of the total length installed below grade. The remaining 47.5 feet is available above grade for mounting lines, luminaires, or equipment.

CCA treatment protects the wood from decay and insect damage over time, supporting long-term use in outdoor and below-grade conditions. The pole's weight and dimensions require appropriate lifting and handling equipment during installation.

Cross arms can be added as needed, with sizing determined by the application and pole height. Field drilling and hardware attachment are supported by the Southern Yellow Pine material.

Routine inspection and maintenance are recommended to monitor for physical damage or environmental wear over the service life of the pole.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

After installation, this 55 foot wood pole is used to support overhead electrical lines, telecommunications cables, or area lighting fixtures. The height above grade allows for clearance over roadways, parking lots, or facility perimeters.

Operators can attach cross arms, insulators, or brackets directly to the pole using standard hardware. The CCA treatment means the pole can be relied on for long-term outdoor use without frequent replacement due to rot or decay.

Adjustments or additions, such as new lines or equipment, can be made by field drilling or attaching hardware as needed. The pole's dimensions and strength support multiple circuits or heavier equipment loads when required.

Day-to-day, the pole requires minimal interaction beyond periodic inspection for physical integrity and hardware condition.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and is rated as Class 1 for structural strength.

The wood is CCA treated to American Wood Preservers Association standards for rot and decay resistance.

LED Lighting Supply provides a 1 year warranty on this pole.
