Our 55 foot Class 2 CCA Treated Southern Yellow Pine Poles are grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. They are manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification.

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 2 wood utility pole made from Southern Yellow Pine. The pole is CCA treated for durability and long-term resistance to rot and decay. It is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and is intended for direct burial installation.
The pole provides a height above grade of 47.5 feet, with a buried depth of 7.5 feet. Minimum pole top circumference is 25 inches, and minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt is 43.5 inches. The pole weight ranges from 2385 to 2815 pounds.
Cross arms are available as an accessory and can be configured based on project requirements. Both 8-foot and 10-foot cross arms are supported for this pole class and height.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 55 foot Class 2 Southern Yellow Pine pole is suited for commercial and municipal outdoor lighting applications where a tall mounting height is required. Typical uses include street lighting, parking lot lighting, and area lighting for large exterior spaces.
The pole's cross-arm capacity of 240 pounds supports mounting of multiple luminaires or other equipment as needed for site requirements. The direct burial design is compatible with standard utility and lighting infrastructure installation practices.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The CCA treatment provides long-term resistance to rot and decay in outdoor environments. Southern Yellow Pine offers strength and durability for supporting lighting fixtures and accessories at height.
The pole's ANSI Class 2 rating defines its structural capacity and suitability for supporting cross arms and fixtures within the specified load range. The minimum pole top and butt circumferences ensure compatibility with standard mounting hardware and accessories.
Direct burial installation eliminates the need for anchor base or foundation hardware, streamlining installation in most soil conditions. The pole's weight and dimensions require appropriate equipment for handling and setting during installation.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is designed for direct burial, with 7.5 feet of the total length installed below grade. Proper backfill and compaction are required to ensure stability and long-term performance.
CCA treatment protects the wood from rot and decay, supporting a long service life in outdoor environments. Routine inspection of the pole and any mounted equipment is recommended as part of standard maintenance practices.
Cross arms can be added as needed, with sizing determined by the specific application and load requirements. Both 8-foot and 10-foot cross arms are compatible with this pole.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, this pole provides a stable mounting point for LED area lights, street lights, or other outdoor fixtures at a height of 47.5 feet above grade. The cross-arm capacity allows for multiple fixtures or accessories to be mounted as needed for site coverage.
Operators can add or adjust cross arms to accommodate changes in lighting layout or fixture type. The treated wood construction requires minimal ongoing attention beyond routine inspection for physical damage or environmental wear.
Direct burial installation means there are no exposed anchor bolts or base plates at grade, reducing trip hazards and simplifying grounds maintenance around the pole base.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and is Class 2 rated. The CCA treatment meets American Wood Preservers Association standards.
LED Lighting Supply provides a 1 year warranty on this pole.
