A high mast pole is a continuously taper polygonal cross-section that has one or more segment, used mainly to light over a large area. High mast lighting poles are used where today’s most busy highways merge or intersect with each other. Generally, these types of lighting poles are manufactured from steel, and the surface units are comprised (or galvanized) with die-cast aluminum or zinc.
The function of a high mast light pole is well qualified to account for the lighting load, tower weight, variable wind speeds, local soil conditions and a host of other relevant variables which needs to be considered while designing. Most of the mounted sections have even numbers of lights in the ring, with uneven numbers of lights used in rare instances.
