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
These 55 ft wood poles are perfect for sports fields, baseball fields or used as utility poles. You can add 1-2 light arms per side, 2-4 in total, but no more than 2 per side. Each arm can accommodate 240 lbs per arm. The number of arms and lights depends on the class of the utility pole you select. The pole length will determine how significant the taper is as with all timber utility poles.
Options Available:
Cross Arms (2-4 per pole, 1-2 per side) and Mounting Brackets. The customer is responsible for mounting Cross Arm after the poles are delivered. Poles do not ship with cross arms attached.
These are the lights we typically mount on the cross arms. Up to 6 lights per arm, not to exceed 240 total pounds of fixtures and hardware.
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-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 and treated with CCA preservative. The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and treated to American Wood Preservers Association standards for rot and decay prevention.
Total pole height is 55 feet, with 47.5 feet above grade and 7.5 feet of buried depth below grade. Pole weight ranges from 1,785 to 2,100 pounds depending on natural variation in the timber. This pole is designed for direct burial installation.
The pole tapers from a minimum circumference of 38 inches at 6 feet from the butt to a minimum circumference of 21 inches at the top. In diameter terms, that translates to a minimum of 12.096 inches near the base and 6.684 inches at the top.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 55-foot Class 4 pole is commonly used in sports field lighting applications, including baseball fields, and as a general utility pole. The 47.5-foot above-grade height provides the reach needed for elevated mounting positions on athletic fields and large outdoor areas.
The CCA treatment protects against rot and decay in outdoor, ground-contact conditions. Southern Yellow Pine accepts preservative treatment effectively, which contributes to long-term durability in direct burial applications.
Performance and Functional Considerations
Class 4 poles have a defined load capacity based on ANSI O5.1 classification. This pole supports 2 to 4 cross arms total, with a maximum of 2 arms per side. Each arm is rated to carry up to 240 pounds of fixtures and hardware.
The taper from base to top is characteristic of timber utility poles. Longer poles have more pronounced taper, which affects how fixtures and arms are positioned along the pole height.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is installed using direct burial at a depth of 7.5 feet below grade. Pole weight of 1,785 to 2,100 pounds requires appropriate lifting and handling equipment during installation.
Cross arms and mounting brackets are available as separate options and do not ship attached to the pole. The customer is responsible for mounting cross arms after pole delivery. All poles are grown, debarked, and treated in the United States.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Once installed, this pole serves as a fixed structure for mounting luminaires and associated hardware. The cross arm configuration determines how fixtures are arranged. With up to 2 arms per side and a 240-pound weight limit per arm, fixture layouts can accommodate up to 6 lights per arm as long as the combined weight of fixtures and hardware stays within the rated capacity.
Day-to-day interaction with the pole itself is minimal after installation. Maintenance considerations typically involve periodic inspection of the wood condition, cross arm hardware, and any mounted equipment. The CCA treatment provides ongoing protection against biological degradation in ground-contact and exposed conditions.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Preservative treatment meets American Wood Preservers Association standards.
LED Lighting Supply provides a 1-year warranty on this pole.
