High Mast Lighting Poles

General American LitePole offers a raising and lowering system that allows for ease of maintaining the lighting system at ground level. Ideal where lift trucks and/or climbing is prohibited. Light xtures can be arranged symmetrically for lighting prison yards, roadways or parking lots. Not to be excluded is Sports Lighting. The lowering device can also arrange light xtures asymmetrically. This will allow for multiple sports xtures to be aimed in one direction. Contact us for further details. Design The selection of the correct pole design is predicated on the specic loading requirements of each application. The poles located in the steel pole chart are designed to withstand dead loads and theoretical dynamic loads developed by sustained winds of 80 MPH through 110 MPH times the 1.3 gust factor. The combined EPA and the weight of the luminaire, light support brackets, platforms and any other attachments cannot exceed the rated EPA or allowable weight on that pole. Welding All welds shall be of the highest quality and performed by American Welding Society certied welders conforming to the latest version of the American Welding Society specication AWS D1.1. Finish All poles, mounting brackets and platforms are furnished with a coating of either red oxide/zinc primer, factory painted, powder coated or hot-dip galvanized to ASTM A-123. Miscellaneous hardware will be galvanized to ASTM A-153. Exterior nish coatings are available by request. Pole Shaft The steel pole shall consist of the appropriate number of pole sections, either round or multi-sided, for heights up to 120 feet. Each section shall be fabricated from high strength low alloy steel conforming to ASTM A-572, with a minimum yield strength of 55,000 psi. These shafts shall telescope over each other to match the overall desired pole height. The overlap telescoping joint shall have a length that is the larger of 2 feet or 1-1/2 times the diameter of the inside of the female tube. The sections shall be pre-tted and match marked at the factory. All sections shall maintain a uniform taper from top to bottom. There shall be at least one longitudinal seam weld in the tapered section of the shaft. The longitudinal seam weld shall have at least 60% penetration, except in the areas where the shaft section telescopes over another. In overlapping areas, the weld penetration shall be 100%. No circumferential weld splices may be used in fabricating the shafts. Base Plate The base plate is fabricated from a structural quality hot rolled carbon steel plate that meets or exceeds ASTM A-36 with a minimum yield of strength of 36,000 psi. The base plate shall telescope the pole shaft and have a circumferential weld on the top and bottom or shall have a full penetration butt weld with a back up bar. The anchor bolt holes shall be slotted and will be a minimum 1/4 larger than the diameter of the anchor bolts used on the pole. Hand Hole A reinforced 10 x 30 hand hole will be installed 30 above base plate with a hinged, lockable door. A winch plate will be welded inside the pole, opposite the hand hole. Anchor Bolts Anchor bolts are fabricated from a commercial quality hot-rolled carbon steel bar that meets or exceeds minimum yield strength of 55,000 psi. Anchor bolts are sized according to each pole design and are furnished with 2 galvanized heavy hex nuts and 2 galvanized at washers. Anchor bolts shall be galvanized a minimum of 6 inches on the threaded end in accordance with ASTM A-153. Anchor bolts will ship with the poles unless otherwise noted.

The anchor bolt holes shall be slotted and will be a minimum 1/4 larger than the diameter of the anchor bolts used on the pole. Hand Hole An oval reinforced hand hole, having a nominal 4 x 6 x .25 wall, will be installed 18 above the base plate. A hand hole cover and attaching hardware is included with each hand hole assembly. A ground lug will be welded inside the pole opposite the hand hole. This is standard on all poles unless otherwise specied. Anchor Bolts Anchor bolts are fabricated from a commercial quality hot-rolled carbon steel bar that meets or exceeds minimum yield strength of 55,000 psi.

A hand hole cover and attaching hardware is included with each hand hole assembly. A ground lug will be welded inside the pole opposite the hand hole. This is standard on all poles unless otherwise specied. Embedment The embedded portion of the pole which will be 10% of the free pole height + 2 feet, will include two 3 x 5 reinforced hand holes at 180 degrees apart, 24 below ground level for wire access. A 1/4 thick bearing plate will be integrally welded to the base of the shaft to aid in anti-rotation. As an option, a mastic coating may be applied at the ground level of the ouiter pole shaft +/- one foot to serve as added protection against the elements. Pole Top Each pole will be provided with either a removable pole cap, at plate, or 2 3/8 O.D. x 5 tenon top (other sizes available).
