Structure, pole-top equipment and access
From 4 to 25 m, with crossarms and maintenance equipment
STADÉLUM links the photometric layout to the mechanical selection: height, pole range, floodlights, crossarms, weight, Scx, wind exposure, access to the luminaires and site constraints.

mounting, access and maintenance
A key technical component of the project
The pole directly affects lighting quality and project feasibility
Pole height affects aiming angles, coverage of the playing area, glare and the number of floodlights required. The pole top must then accommodate the luminaires in the positions defined by the study while remaining compatible with the loads and wind constraints.
The selection should therefore not be based on height or diameter alone. STADÉLUM links the photometric study, floodlight configuration, allowable wind-exposed areas, pole-top accessories, foundation and access conditions.
Three pole ranges
Choose the range based on height and loads
The ranges below show the commercial positioning of each product family. The exact reference still depends on the floodlights, pole-top configuration, wind, maintenance requirements and site data.
CONICA 20000
Tapered round pole designed for local sports facilities and configurations where the throw distance remains moderate.
SKY / CLIMB
Two high-mast designs: SKY with a tapered round section and CLIMB with a polygonal section, to be compared according to loads and pole-top configuration.
STADIUM 12 / 16-sided
Polygonal ranges for high-mast applications and pole-top configurations requiring higher load capacity.
Weight, Scx, pole-top geometry, wind, floodlights, accessories and maintenance conditions must all be compared.
STADÉLUM method
Choose the support structure after defining the lighting layout
1. Assess the site
Field dimensions, available setback, neighbouring areas, site access and exposure.
2. Define the floodlights
Power, optics, quantity, weight, projected area and aiming angles defined by the study.
3. Determine the height
A balance between lighting reach, visual comfort, number of lighting points and site constraints.
4. Configure the pole top
Straight crossarm, circular crossarm, walkway or compact bracket depending on the number, weight and aiming angles of the floodlights.
5. Check the loads
Weight, allowable wind-exposed area, wind, offset and distribution of equipment on the structure.
6. Validate the civil works
Foundation, anchorages and soil conditions to be confirmed for the actual project before manufacturing and installation.
| Application considered | Presented height range | Proposed range | Pole-top equipment to be assessed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multi-use sports court, pétanque court, small sports ground | 4 to 6 m | CONICA | TOP 60 bracket or straight crossarm depending on the floodlight |
| Tennis, local sports ground, outdoor area | 6 to 12 m | CONICA | Straight crossarm or suitable pole-top bracket |
| Football, rugby and large outdoor area | 16 to 20 m | SKY / CLIMB | Modular crossarm and access equipment according to maintenance requirements |
| Stadium or sports complex with high pole-top loads | 15 to 25 m | STADIUM | Modular crossarm, maintenance platform and access equipment to be sized |
The height, pole range and pole-top equipment must be confirmed based on the floodlights, wind, site, loads and foundation.
Complementary products
Mount the floodlights and plan access to the pole
The accessories below are sold separately from the pole. Compatibility must be checked against the pole range, height, section, floodlights and loads of the complete configuration.
Floodlight brackets and crossarms
Arrange the floodlights according to the photometric layout and pole-top capacity.
TOP 60 bracket
Compact bracket for mounting a medium-power floodlight, particularly a SMASH model, on a CONICA pole with a 60 mm top.
View TOP 60 bracket
Straight crossarms
Single- or double-clamp versions in several lengths, with clamp diameter matched to the pole range.
View straight crossarms
Modular crossarms
Reinforced solutions for high-mast poles and heavy or high-power floodlights.
View modular crossarmsAccess and maintenance for high-mast poles
Plan maintenance operations while clearly distinguishing the scope of supply of each component.
Access step kit
Step brackets, safety flats and ladder support, priced according to pole height.
View access step kit
Vertical lifeline
Lifeline and fixed components sized for the equipped height. The harness and mobile fall arrester are not included.
View vertical lifeline
Folding rest platform
Two folding steps forming an intermediate support point. Quantity depends on pole height and the access system.
View folding rest platform
Maintenance platform
Platform available in three widths. The pole, crossarm, floodlights and access equipment are sold separately.
View maintenance platformThe weight and Scx of the crossarm, maintenance platform, floodlights and other accessories must be added together to verify the pole capacity.

Frequently asked questions
Planning a sports lighting pole and support project
Which pole range should I choose?
CONICA covers lower-height applications. The SKY / CLIMB et STADIUM ranges are intended for high-mast applications. Final selection depends on loads, wind, pole-top configuration and the photometric layout.
What is the difference between SKY, CLIMB and STADIUM?
SKY has a tapered round section, CLIMB a polygonal section, while STADIUM uses 12- or 16-sided polygonal sections for heights up to 25 m. Actual capacity must be checked against the tables for the selected reference.
Which brackets can be used to mount the floodlights?
For CONICA, the TOP 60 bracket and the straight crossarms can be considered. High-mast configurations notably use modular crossarms.
What access equipment can be added to the pole?
The system can include an access step kit, a vertical lifeline, a folding rest platform or a maintenance platform. Each product has its own scope of supply.
Are accessories included in the pole price?
Not automatically. Brackets, crossarms and access equipment are separate products, selected and priced according to the pole reference and complete configuration.
Why should maintenance be considered from the design stage?
Floodlights will need to be aimed, inspected and sometimes replaced. The access route, rest platforms and pole-top working area affect the structure, loads and organisation of maintenance operations.
Can the foundation dimensions shown in the data sheets be used as-is?
No. They are indicative only and must be confirmed according to soil conditions, pole reference, loads, wind and applicable project rules.
