30 Foot Round Tapered Steel Light Pole | 7 Inch Base Diameter | Anchor Base | High Wind Zone Rated

Heavy-Duty Steel Pole for Demanding Environments

Built for environments where structural integrity cannot be compromised, this 30-foot tapered steel pole delivers the strength needed for commercial and industrial lighting installations. With its robust 7-inch base diameter tapering to 3 inches at the tip, this pole is engineered to handle demanding conditions including high wind zones. The hot-dip galvanized finish with powder coating in bronze provides exceptional corrosion resistance while maintaining a professional appearance across years of service.

Replacing Older Lighting Systems

When upgrading from aging pole infrastructure, this heavy-duty steel construction offers significant advantages over deteriorated or undersized existing poles. Unlike traditional lighting support systems that may have been installed without consideration for modern wind load requirements, this pole is specifically rated for extreme weather conditions.

• Handles wind loads up to 150 mph with appropriate fixture selection
• 300-pound construction weight provides superior stability compared to lightweight alternatives
• Tapered design reduces wind resistance while maintaining structural strength
• Galvanized and powder-coated finish outlasts basic painted poles by years

Mounting, Setup & Controls

For most installations, the anchor base mounting system simplifies the setup process while ensuring secure foundation attachment. The bolt circle diameter ranges from 9.8 to 11.4 inches, accommodating standard foundation configurations. With a 3.15-inch bolt projection, contractors can work with conventional anchor bolt specifications for reliable mounting.

Certifications

• High wind zone rating certified for extreme weather applications
• Steel construction meets commercial grade structural requirements
• Hot-dip galvanizing process follows industry corrosion protection standards

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum wind speed this pole can handle?
The pole is rated for winds up to 150 mph, though the effective projected area (EPA) decreases as wind speeds increase. At 150 mph, the EPA is 1.2 square feet.

How much weight can this pole support?
The fixture load capacity depends on wind conditions and EPA ratings. At 70 mph winds, the pole supports fixtures with up to 10.5 square feet of wind load area.

What type of foundation is required?
The anchor base design requires a concrete foundation with properly sized anchor bolts matching the 9.8 to 11.4-inch bolt circle diameter.
