Our 55 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

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.

Premium Class 3 Southern Yellow Pine Utility Pole

Built for environments where substantial height and reliable load-bearing capacity are essential, this 55-foot Class 3 Southern Yellow Pine pole delivers professional-grade performance for demanding outdoor installations. Engineered to handle demanding conditions with CCA treatment and ANSI O5.1 compliance, this utility pole provides the structural integrity needed for sports lighting, utility applications, and commercial outdoor illumination projects requiring significant elevation and multi-fixture mounting capability.

Suitable Environments

  • Sports field lighting installations requiring maximum visibility coverage
  • Baseball and softball field illumination systems
  • Utility company infrastructure and power distribution networks
  • Commercial parking lot perimeter lighting applications
  • Industrial facility outdoor area lighting
  • Municipal street lighting and roadway illumination
  • Large-scale outdoor event venues and recreational facilities

Metal Halide Replacement Benefits

  • Natural wood construction provides superior longevity compared to metal alternatives in corrosive environments
  • CCA treatment process delivers enhanced rot and decay resistance beyond untreated options
  • Class 3 rating supports heavier fixture loads than lower-class poles
  • Direct burial installation eliminates need for concrete foundations required by some metal poles
  • Southern Yellow Pine material offers better shock absorption during severe weather
  • ANSI O5.1 specification compliance ensures consistent quality standards

Performance & Safety

For facilities that require substantial structural support, this pole's Class 3 rating accommodates up to four cross arms with a maximum load capacity of 240 pounds per arm. The 47.5-foot above-grade height maximizes light distribution while the 7.5-foot burial depth ensures stable anchoring in various soil conditions.

From a safety perspective, the CCA preservative treatment meets current American Wood Preservers Association standards, providing long-term protection against environmental degradation. The tapered design from 12.89 inches diameter at the base to 7.32 inches at the top optimizes wind resistance while maintaining structural integrity.

In real-world use, the 2070-2440 pound weight range provides excellent stability without requiring specialized installation equipment. Additionally, the natural wood construction offers superior performance in coastal and high-humidity environments where metal poles may experience accelerated corrosion.

Setup & Mounting

This model is designed for direct burial installation, eliminating the concrete foundation requirements of alternative pole types. With its 7.5-foot burial specification, the pole achieves proper anchoring in most soil conditions. Cross arms and mounting brackets are available as separate components, allowing customization based on specific lighting requirements. In practice, installers can mount one to two cross arms per side, supporting up to six light fixtures per arm within the 240-pound load limit. The customer handles cross arm attachment after pole delivery, providing flexibility in final configuration.
