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.

Professional-Grade Wood Utility Pole for Demanding Applications
For facilities that require substantial overhead lighting infrastructure, this 55-foot Class 4 Southern Yellow Pine utility pole delivers the structural integrity and longevity needed for critical installations. Engineered to handle demanding conditions with a total weight capacity that supports multiple lighting arms, this CCA-treated pole provides 47.5 feet of usable height above grade while maintaining the robust taper profile essential for wind load resistance and long-term stability.
Replacing Older Lighting Systems
When upgrading from metal halide systems or replacing deteriorated utility infrastructure, this treated wood pole offers significant advantages over both concrete and steel alternatives. Built for environments where traditional materials face corrosion or cracking issues, the natural properties of Southern Yellow Pine provide excellent electrical insulation and weather resistance.
- Direct burial installation eliminates complex foundation requirements
- CCA treatment prevents rot and insect damage that destroys untreated wood
- Class 4 rating supports heavier fixture loads than lower-class alternatives
- Substantial circumference taper from 38 inches at base to 21 inches at top ensures proper load distribution
Mounting, Setup & Controls
Additionally, the direct burial design simplifies installation while the 7.5-foot burial depth provides exceptional stability for the 47.5-foot above-grade height. Cross arms can be field-mounted after delivery, with each arm supporting up to 240 pounds of fixtures and hardware. In practice, installations typically accommodate 2-4 cross arms total, with no more than 2 per side to maintain structural balance.
Certifications
- Manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification standards
- CCA treatment meets American Wood Preservers Association requirements
- Class 4 utility pole rating for enhanced load capacity
Where This Fixture Excels
- Sports field lighting installations requiring significant height and fixture capacity
- Baseball field illumination where multiple high-wattage fixtures are essential
- Utility applications demanding reliable overhead infrastructure
- Commercial parking lot lighting where direct burial reduces installation complexity
- Industrial facility perimeter lighting requiring substantial pole height
Performance Overview
What makes this fixture valuable for buyers is the combination of substantial load capacity and proven material performance. With its specialized construction using domestically grown Southern Yellow Pine, the pole delivers consistent performance across varying environmental conditions while supporting fixture loads that would overwhelm smaller utility poles.
- 1785-2100 pound pole weight provides exceptional wind resistance
- Minimum 6.684-inch top diameter accommodates standard mounting hardware
- 12.096-inch minimum diameter at 6 feet from base ensures structural integrity
- CCA preservative treatment extends operational lifespan significantly
Operational Benefits
Energy Efficiency
From a cost standpoint, the substantial height and multi-arm capacity allows for optimal fixture spacing and reduced pole count per installation. Performance-wise, the 47.5-foot mounting height maximizes light distribution coverage while minimizing the total number of poles required for comprehensive area illumination.
Reliability & Durability
Designed to deliver decades of dependable service, the CCA treatment process penetrates deep into the wood fiber to prevent decay and insect damage. Unlike traditional untreated options, this preservative system ensures consistent structural performance even in challenging soil conditions and varying moisture environments.
Maintenance Reduction
In terms of longevity, the domestic Southern Yellow Pine material combined with professional CCA treatment significantly reduces maintenance requirements compared to untreated wood or metal alternatives. Equally important, the direct burial installation eliminates concrete foundation maintenance while the Class 4 rating provides substantial safety margins that extend service life.
