Key Features and Benefits of This Steel Light Pole

The tenon top or drill mount offers flexibility when matching the pole to different fixtures or arms. The hand hole, centered 12 inches up, gives access to wiring, and nut covers, shims, and a plastic top cap come included. Finishes include white, black, bronze, grey, green, or custom.

Where to Use the NST18 Steel Light Pole

This pole is intended for outdoor lighting applications such as parking areas, walkways, and site lighting, where a fixed 18-foot mounting height is needed. It is designed to be installed on a concrete base or footing. It is a pole only, so lighting fixtures are sold separately.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

The pole uses a Type A base plate with 1-inch anchor bolts. Wind speed and maximum EPA (effective projected area) ratings apply to fixtures and arms, but the values are not shown on the page. Confirm them against your fixtures and local wind conditions before ordering.

The design follows AASHTO structural support specifications. No certifications or warranty terms are stated on the page, and pole diameter, wall thickness, and weight are also not listed. Request the full specification sheet if your project requires them, and confirm the finish you want.
