Concrete Light Poles

Architects, outdoor lighting designers, and civil engineers in charge of proposing a parking lot lighting system, consider the many benefits the concrete light poles can equip you to pass on to your clients. Contrary to the perceptions of many, concrete is an ideal material from which to construct a lighting pole. In fact, concrete lighting poles provide the most reliable, versatile, safe, maintenance free, and rugged line items you can propose in a bid.

This is due to a number of key features that make concrete light poles unique in both performance and competitive advantages. One of the most important benefits they bring to time-sensitive projects is their versatility of application and their ease of installation. Concrete light poles can either be affixed to a concrete pole base concrete mounting plate, or they can be buried in the ground a wide range of soil types. This offers a clear advantage to the contractor who is bidding an exterior commercial lighting system for a client with a parking lot adjacent to a park or manicured landscape. In such a situation, the client can propose any number of Easy Rack decorative pole designs, and the same concrete poles can then be positioned throughout the park area as well as the appropriate sections of the parking lot.

This creates a functional, aesthetic harmony between human engineering and that will often tip the scales in your favor in a tight, competitive bidding situation. One point that you will want to emphasize to these clients is that concrete parking lot light poles, contrary to what many assume, actually offer more decorative options than standard metal lighting poles provide. If it comes down to a close race between the three closest bids, show your client all the Easy Rack models in decorative concrete poles, and give them more options than your competitor’s proposal can deliver.

Your clients also can save a great deal of money in the future if they accept your proposal of concrete lighting poles now. Concrete will not corrode the way metal eventually does, and light poles made of concrete are normally made from compacted material that is cast around a high-tensile steel core. This adds compression to the concrete as it cools and makes the pole more flexible and sturdy at the same time. Generally speaking, concrete light poles with outdoor commercial parking fixtures of any design or height will offer greater resistance to high wind speeds and reduce the financial setbacks of any attempts at sabotage or vandalism—simply because they are very difficult to damage even if someone deliberately attempts to deface them.

Concrete built by the Romans still stands in places 1,500 years after the Empire fell, and even though no one has ever rebuilt it, no one has yet torn it down, either.

Because Easy Rack concrete light poles are manufactured with a highly streamlined process that minimizes overhead overhead, concrete poles are often sold at a lower price point than many decorative steel pole equivalents. This gives you a fantastic opportunity to pass savings on to your client in the form of commercial lighting equipment that costs less money to make and takes less time to install. Equally important as well, concrete is environmentally friendly because it produces no toxic by products that can harm wildlife, humans, plants, gardens, or trees.

Finally, the law requires that poles over 50 feet high be made from concrete. Metal, no matter how sturdy, simply will not guarantee sufficient wind resistance to be completely safe at this height. This is why so many sports arenas, stadiums, civic centers, and even municipalities come to Easy Rack for concrete lighting poles that will elevate fixtures to the desired height in full compliance with AASHTO, ACI, ASTM and UBC loading requirements.

Easy Rack concrete outdoor lighting poles are available in all heights, a wide variety of colors, and any decorative style your clients desire. We are here to empower you with as many options as we can to pass on value to your client. Churches, schools, public parks, baseball fields, commercial shopping centers, and even city streets can all be decorated, lit, and made safe from equipment malfunction all with the simple proposal of Easy Rack industrial concrete lighting poles in either ground burial mounts or base-mounts in concrete.
