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
The 55 Foot Wood Pole, Class 4, is crafted from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with CCA for enhanced durability. Designed for utility and sports lighting applications, this pole offers a reliable solution for supporting lighting fixtures in various environments. With a total height of 55 feet and a height above grade of 47.5 feet, it is suitable for installations requiring significant elevation.
This pole is ANSI O5.1 compliant, ensuring it meets industry standards for safety and performance. The direct burial installation method simplifies the setup process, making it a practical choice for both new projects and replacements. Optional cross arms, available in 8-foot and 10-foot lengths, provide additional flexibility for specific project needs.
Core Performance and Output
The structural capacity of this wood pole is defined by its Class 4 rating, supporting a range of lighting applications. With a weight between 1785 and 2100 lbs, it offers a robust solution for environments requiring sturdy support. The pole's minimum top circumference of 21 inches and a circumference of 38 inches six feet from the butt ensure stability and strength.
Environmental performance is enhanced by the CCA treatment, which protects against rot and decay. This makes the pole suitable for outdoor use in various climates. The direct burial installation method provides a secure foundation, though care should be taken to ensure proper depth and stability in softer soils.
Adjustability and Control Options
This wood pole does not include integrated adjustability or control options. However, the optional cross arms can be configured to meet specific lighting distribution needs. The choice of cross arm length, either 8 feet or 10 feet, allows for customization based on the lighting fixtures and project requirements.
While the pole itself is fixed, the flexibility in cross arm configuration provides some level of adaptability for different lighting layouts. This can be particularly useful in sports field lighting where precise fixture placement is crucial.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine used in this pole is known for its strength and durability. The CCA treatment further enhances its longevity by protecting against environmental factors such as moisture and insects. This ensures a long service life, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Reliability is also supported by the pole's compliance with ANSI O5.1 standards, which guarantees it meets industry benchmarks for performance and safety. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the pole's lifespan, ensuring continued reliability in demanding applications.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
Constructed from Southern Yellow Pine, this pole offers a natural aesthetic while providing the necessary strength for utility applications. The CCA treatment process ensures the wood is resistant to decay, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use.
Physical characteristics such as the pole's diameter and circumference are designed to provide stability and support for lighting fixtures. The direct burial installation method requires careful consideration of soil conditions to ensure proper anchoring and stability.
