Our 55 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 55 foot Class 4 wood utility pole made from Southern Yellow Pine. The pole is CCA treated for rot and decay resistance and is designed for direct burial installation.
It provides 47.5 feet of height above grade with a buried depth of 7.5 feet. The pole weight ranges from 1785 to 2100 pounds, depending on the specific piece.
The minimum pole top circumference is 21 inches, and the minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt is 38 inches. The minimum pole top outside diameter is 6.7 inches, and the outside diameter 6 feet from the butt is 12.1 inches.
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and is classified as ANSI Class 4.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 55 foot Class 4 Southern Yellow Pine pole is suited for utility, lighting, and distribution applications that require a tall, direct-burial wood pole with moderate cross-arm loading.
It is commonly used in outdoor environments where above-ground clearance and long-term durability are required, such as along roadways, in industrial yards, or for area lighting in large commercial sites.
The CCA treatment allows for installation in locations where ground contact and exposure to moisture are expected.
Class 4 rating and cross-arm capacity make this pole appropriate for supporting lighting fixtures, distribution lines, or similar loads within the specified limits.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole supports a maximum of 2 to 4 cross-arms, with a cross-arm capacity of up to 240 pounds. This allows for mounting of multiple fixtures or lines, depending on project requirements.
CCA treatment provides resistance to rot and decay, supporting long-term use in outdoor and direct-burial applications.
The pole's dimensions and weight should be considered for handling, transport, and installation planning. Proper equipment is required for safe placement and burial to the specified depth.
Southern Yellow Pine offers a balance of strength and workability for utility pole applications, with the Class 4 designation indicating its load-bearing classification.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is designed for direct burial installation, with 7.5 feet below grade and 47.5 feet above grade after installation. The buried depth supports stability and load transfer in typical soil conditions.
CCA treatment extends the service life of the pole by protecting against decay and insect activity in ground contact environments.
Handling and installation require equipment capable of managing the 1785-2100 pound weight range. Proper backfill and compaction are necessary to maintain pole stability over time.
Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for physical damage or environmental wear, especially at the ground line and pole top.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, this 55 foot wood pole is typically used to support area lighting, distribution lines, or other mounted equipment at heights that require significant above-ground clearance.
Operators can mount 2 to 4 cross-arms, depending on the load and configuration needed for the site. The 240 pound cross-arm capacity allows for multiple fixtures or lines to be supported within the pole's rating.
The CCA treatment means you can rely on the pole for long-term outdoor use without frequent maintenance for rot or decay. The direct burial design eliminates the need for separate mounting foundations.
In day-to-day operation, the pole provides a stable, elevated mounting point for lighting or utility equipment, with minimal interaction required beyond periodic inspection.
