Wood Equivalent Steel Poles

Ladder clip

Climbing ladder clips for ladders are furnished on one face of

the pole from approximately eight feet above the ground-line to

the top of the pole. In addition, working ladder clips will be

provided 180 degrees opposite to the climbing ladder clips on

the top section of two-piece poles, or a minimum of the top 25

feet for all poles.

POLE CAP

A steel pole cap is provided with a 3/8” x 1-

1/2” bolt, a 3/8” washer and a pole cap

support plate welded to the inside of the

pole, flush with the pole top.

STEP BOLTS

Standard step clips for 3/4” diameter step bolts are welded

to the pole from approximately 8feet above the ground-line

to the top of the pole. In addition, working step clips are

placed to provide safety and easy access to hardware.

GROUNDING NUT OR PAD

A 1/2” diameter heavy hex nut is provided for the

attachment of a ground wire to the pole or a one and

two hole NEMA grounding pads are available.

GROUND SLEEVE

A ground sleeve extending one foot above

and one foot below the ground-line.

BEARING PLATE

Direct embedded poles are provided with a bearing

plate welded to the base of the pole. The plate has

a 3/16” minimum thickness.

Jacking Nuts

Sets of 1 inch diameter heavy hex nuts are

standard. They are welded onto the pole to allow

for pulling points in the tightening of slip joint

connections.

Wood Equivalents Standard & Optional Accessories

Distribution Class Poles

We offer standard distribution poles with various heights and classes available for all distribution voltages. Our steel distribution poles are a cost-effective alternative to wood poles.

When all the costs are factored in (material, labor, transportation, installation, maintenance), most utilities have found steel poles to be between 7 to 30 % less expensive than wood poles.
