Our 70 foot Class 3 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 70 foot Class 3 Southern Yellow Pine wood pole, CCA-treated for durability. The pole is designed for direct burial installation, with 61 feet above grade and 9 feet below grade.
The pole is manufactured to ANSI Class 3 standards and weighs between 3000 and 3600 lbs. Minimum pole top circumference is 23 inches, and minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt is 45 inches. Minimum pole top outside diameter is 7.3 inches, and outside diameter 6 feet from the butt is 14.3 inches.
CCA treatment provides resistance to rot and decay. The pole is suitable for supporting 2 to 4 crossarms, with a maximum load of 240 lbs per crossarm.
This pole is intended for use in electrical distribution and telecommunications infrastructure where a 70 foot wood pole is required.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 70 foot Class 3 wood pole is used in applications requiring significant above-grade height, such as primary electrical distribution lines and telecommunications runs over long spans or challenging terrain.
It is suitable for sites where direct burial installation is preferred and where Southern Yellow Pine is an accepted material. The pole's size and load capacity support multiple crossarms and heavy line hardware.
Common installation environments include utility corridors, substations, and infrastructure projects requiring tall, durable wood poles.
Use cases include both new installations and replacement of existing 70 foot wood poles in established utility networks.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole supports 2 to 4 crossarms, with a maximum of 240 lbs per crossarm. This allows for multiple conductors or communication lines to be mounted at different elevations.
CCA treatment extends the service life of the pole by providing resistance to rot and decay in direct burial applications. The Southern Yellow Pine material offers strength and durability for heavy-duty infrastructure use.
ANSI Class 3 rating defines the structural performance and minimum dimensions for this pole size. The weight range of 3000 to 3600 lbs should be considered for handling and installation planning.
Minimum circumference and outside diameter values at the top and 6 feet from the butt ensure compatibility with standard hardware and mounting brackets.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is installed using direct burial, with 9 feet of the total length below grade and 61 feet above grade. Proper burial depth is critical for stability and compliance with utility standards.
Handling and setting require equipment rated for the pole's weight and length. The CCA treatment provides long-term resistance to decay, but periodic inspection is recommended as part of standard maintenance.
Crossarms are mounted according to project requirements and pole class. The pole's dimensions support standard crossarm hardware and insulator configurations.
Routine maintenance includes visual inspection for damage, decay, or hardware loosening, especially at ground line and attachment points.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, this 70 foot wood pole provides a stable structure for mounting electrical distribution lines or telecommunications cables at significant height above grade.
Operators typically use the pole to support multiple crossarms, allowing for separation of conductors or mixed-use infrastructure on a single pole. The maximum load per crossarm guides hardware selection and line configuration.
Day-to-day, the pole is relied on for structural integrity in all weather conditions. Maintenance teams inspect for signs of decay, hardware wear, or ground line issues as part of regular utility pole management.
Adjustments after installation are limited to hardware and crossarm changes, as the pole itself is a fixed structural element once set in place.
