Below are some common types of utility poles:

Conical pole:

There are many types of utility poles, but the most common is the conical pole. Their simple design makes them suitable for residential areas, parks, and sidewalks. Conical poles are made of steel, aluminum, and composite materials. Local governments and municipalities prefer conical poles for their ease of installation and maintenance.

Tapered square pole:

Tapered square poles are poles with a square cross-section that tapers gradually. They are often used in commercial areas or city centers. They come in various size and are made from steel or aluminum. They are easy to install and maintain, making them a good choice.

Octagonal steel pole：

The design of the octagonal pole is similar to that of the conical pole, but its shape is octagonal. It is suitable for areas with high wind loads and is used for overhead electrical or fiber optic cables. Suitable for line manufacturing of rural and urban roads, signal transmission of signal towers. Due to its excellent stability and strong and durable material, the octagonal steel pole is gradually replacing the conical pole.

Floodlight Poles:

Floodlight poles are used to support floodlights, which are used to illuminate large venues and outdoor areas. These tall, sturdy poles are made of materials such as steel or aluminum. They are widely used to illuminate sports fields, parking lots, construction sites, and other large outdoor areas.

Wooden utility poles:

Wooden utility poles are widely used on rural roads to support overhead power lines. However, wooden poles are susceptible to corrosion from insects and termites, as well as rain. Therefore, many places are gradually replacing wooden poles with octagonal steel poles.
