How to Specify an Aluminum Tapered Light Pole
To help us prepare a suitable configuration and project quotation, include the following information in your inquiry
Installation method:
Anchor base or direct burial.
Luminaire details:
unit weight, quantity per pole and projected wind area (EPA, if available).
Site design conditions:
design wind speed, terrain or exposure category, and applicable local design standard.
Project requirements:
pole quantity, finish, accessories and any drawing or specification supplied by the project engineer.
Five stock finishes, any RAL to order
All coated poles receive a chromate-free conversion pre-treatment before powder application, then a full cure at 200 °C. Colour matching against your sample is free of charge. Finish thickness: Powder coating: 80 µm standard; available range: 80–120 µm. Anodizing: 20 µm standard; available range: 15–25 µm.
Natural aluminum; anodizing: 20 µm standard, available range 15–25 µm.

What the base and shaft actually look like
The load path from luminaire to foundation is where cheap poles fail. Here is how ours is built.
Full-penetration flange weld
The shaft-to-plate joint is TIG welded by robot in a single pass with an internal backing ring, then dye-penetrant tested. No spot welds, no filler-only fillets.
Machined base plate
CNC-machined from cast or plate aluminum, 10-20 mm thick according to height. Boltholes are drilled, not punched, so the anchor template always fits on site.
Reinforced hand hole
The opening is framed with a welded collar that restores the section modulus lost to the cut-out, so the pole's weakest point is not at the access door.
Deburred cable entry
A radiused 50 mm slot below ground level prevents insulation chafing. An M8 earth stud with copper lug is fitted inside as standard.
Galvanised anchor set
Four hot-dip galvanised J-bolts, nuts, washers and a steel setting template ship with every pole - no sourcing hardware locally.
Specified for long-term outdoor use
Each shaft is CNC-spun from a single 6063-T6 aluminum tube, creating a conical profile without a longitudinal weld seam along the tapered section. Structural calculations and supporting documentation should be confirmed for the specified configuration. For help comparing shaft profiles, read our round tapered vs. round straight aluminum light pole guide, or browse the full aluminum light pole range.
Seamless spun taper
CNC spinning forms a conical shaft with a continuous wall. The finished geometry and structural performance should be assessed against the approved dimensions, material specification and project design loads.
Project-specific wind rating
Wind performance is configuration- and site-specific. The technical table lists 40 m/s standard and a 55 m/s reinforced option; confirm the required rating against the project calculation and approved design.
Coating options for project exposure
Powder coating and anodizing are available. Confirm the coating system, film thickness, inspection criteria and any test evidence required for the project before ordering.
Lightweight installation
Aluminum poles generally weigh less than comparable steel designs, which can make handling easier. Actual unit weight depends on height, wall thickness, base and attachments. Select lifting equipment and erection methods from the approved unit weight and site-specific lifting plan.
Full custom tooling
Bespoke heights, taper ratios, bolt patterns, arm angles and hand-hole positions. Drawings returned within 24 h, tooling in 7 days.
Recyclable, zero rust
Aluminum is 100% recyclable and never rusts through. No hot-dip galvanizing, no zinc runoff, lower lifetime maintenance for municipalities.
A pole factory, not a trading company
Founded in 2003, we operate a 50,000 m2 plant with three spinning lines, two robotic welding cells and an in-house powder coating line. Annual output is around 120,000 poles.
Roughly 70% of our volume is export, supplied to lighting contractors, municipal tenders and distributors across the EU, North America, the Gulf and Southeast Asia. We work directly against your drawings and will sign NDA and OEM agreements – poles ship under your brand and packaging where required.
English- and Spanish-speaking sales engineers handle technical queries; structural calculation reports for your local wind zone are prepared free with any project enquiry.

Every production stage takes place in our own plant. We target a lead time of 15–25 working days after deposit and drawing approval; the schedule is confirmed with the approved order details.
6063 billets and tube with mill certificates; spectrometer check on every lot.
Tube is spun to the specified conical taper on a programmed mandrel.
Solution treatment and artificial ageing to reach full T6 temper.
Base plate machined, hand hole cut, cable slot radiused, top sized.
5.Robot welding
Flange and collar welded by TIG robot, then dye-penetrant inspected.
6.Coating line
Pre-treat, electrostatic powder, 200°C cure, film thickness logged.
7.QC & packing
Dimensional and adhesion checks, then wrap, bundle and load.

Municipal roads, boulevards and highway service lanes
Uniform taper and consistent finish across a whole batch are important when 200 poles sit in a straight line and any colour or profile deviation is visible from the road.

Aluminum tapered light poles for modern urban infrastructure.
Packed so it arrives without a scratch
Coating damage in transit is the most common complaint with imported poles. Our packing is built around that single risk.
Each pole is sleeved in pearl cotton foam, then woven polypropylene fabric, taped at both ends. Coated surfaces never touch each other.
Base plate corners and the slip-fit top get moulded caps the two points that take impact during handling.
Bundled in fumigated timber frames with steel strapping, stackable and forklift-ready. Fittings and anchor bolts in separate labelled cartons.

~200 pcs
15–25 working days after deposit and drawing approval
Loading quantities based on 6m poles. 10m and 12m can be supplied in two slip-fit sections on request to reduce freight cost.
Questions buyers ask before ordering
A tapered shaft gradually changes diameter from base to top, while a straight pole keeps a more consistent profile. The right choice depends on the required appearance, mounting height, luminaire load, wind design and foundation. See our tapered vs. straight aluminum pole guide.
The standard MOQ is 10 sets. Mixed heights and finishes can be combined within the order, subject to the approved configuration.
An anchor-base pole is fixed to a designed foundation with anchor bolts and can be more accessible for inspection or replacement. A direct-burial design embeds part of the pole below grade. The suitable option depends on soil, corrosion exposure, wind loads, foundation design and local requirements; confirm the mounting method and embedment details in the approved drawing.
The quotation should identify the pole configuration, finish, mounting method, hardware, packing and delivery terms. Luminaires, foundation work and installation should be treated as included only when they are explicitly listed. Send your project scope and ask us to confirm the itemized supply boundary before ordering.
Yes. Provide the design wind speed, terrain category, luminaire weight, and projected area. We can prepare an EN 40-3 calculation report for your specified configuration; request it with your project enquiry.
Warranty coverage, duration and remedy depend on the agreed finish, exposure conditions and order terms. Please have the applicable warranty scope confirmed in the quotation or sales contract.
Yes. You are welcome at the factory, or we accept third-party inspection by SGS, BV, TÜV or your own agent. We also send a photo and measurement report for every batch as standard.
A 500 mm cut section in your chosen finish is free; you cover the courier cost. Full-height sample poles are charged at the unit price, which can be credited against your first bulk order.
Include the design wind speed and luminaire details and we will add a free structural calculation report with the quotation.
