Steel Utility Poles

Engineered for Endurance

Our steel utility pole offering is backed by a team with over 100 years of steel pole manufacturing experience. Our standard catalog designs feature steel round and 12-sided poles equivalent to ANSI 05.1 Wood Pole Classes 5 through H6. And, our manufacturing capabilities allow us to provide alternate pole shapes, grades of material, material thickness, tapers, and lengths — all with domestically sourced steel.

The Cecil Advantage

The Smart Alternative

  • Increased durability
  • Reduced weight, translating to lower transportation and install costs
  • Increased service life — up to 80 years versus 20-30 years for wood poles
  • Economically designed
  • Aesthetically pleasing

Safe and Durable

  • Consistent dimensional properties and material strength, maximizing strength and stiffness for loads applied in any direction
  • Zero strength degredation — unlike wood poles, steel poles do not lose strength over time
  • Quality tested and assured

Efficiencies in Install and Maintenance

  • Improved labor savings due to customer-specified pre-drilled patterns
  • Reduced handling and installation costs
  • Zero pole-material shrinkage avoids hardware retightening maintenance
  • Eliminates disposal problems associated with wood poles
