High-mast poles for outdoor sports lighting
A 16 to 20 m selection for football, rugby, stadiums and large sports complexes
SKY and CLIMB comprise two families of high-mast poles: SKY with a tapered cylindrical section and CLIMB with a polygonal section. The choice depends on height, number of floodlights, projected surface area, wind conditions, pole-top equipment and site constraints.
The modular crossarm, climbing rung access kit, lifeline, rest platform, maintenance platform, floodlights and other additional equipment are not included. Each accessory is ordered separately after its compatibility with the pole reference has been checked.
A complete system to be dimensioned
Height, pole and floodlights must be studied together
On a football pitch, rugby field or in a stadium, height influences lighting reach, aiming angles and visual comfort. The structure must then remain compatible with the floodlights, pole-top accessories and wind conditions.
STADÉLUM links the photometric study to the mechanical selection: layout, height, optics, aiming, number of floodlights, weight, projected surface area and pole-top equipment.
Two designs
SKY tapered cylindrical or CLIMB polygonal

SKY: tapered cylindrical section
The 16 to 20 m selection includes 16 and 18 m references with pole-top diameters of 89 or 114 mm.
- SKY 89-16 and SKY 114-16
- SKY 89-18 and SKY 114-18

CLIMB: polygonal section
The 15-4 reference is specified with 8 sides; references from 16 to 24 m are presented with 12 sides.
- CLIMB 16-M
- CLIMB 18-S and 18-M
- CLIMB 20-S, 20-M and 20-G
Sports applications
Poles designed for large outdoor playing areas

Football pitches
The height and distribution of the floodlights are defined according to the dimensions of the pitch, projection distances and required lighting level.

Rugby fields
The width, depth, in-goal areas and available positions require a coordinated study of height, floodlights and aiming directions.
Stadiums and multi-sport complexes
Several areas, stands, a track or maintenance requirements may require a multi-floodlight pole top or platform.
16 to 20 m selection
References presented in the STADÉLUM commercial range
| Family | Reference | Height | Section | Positioning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SKY | SKY 89-16 | 16 m | Tapered cylindrical, 89 mm top | Capacity to be checked according to pole-top equipment |
| SKY | SKY 114-16 | 16 m | Tapered cylindrical, 114 mm top | Version to compare according to loads |
| SKY | SKY 89-18 | 18 m | Tapered cylindrical, 89 mm top | 18 m version |
| SKY | SKY 114-18 | 18 m | Tapered cylindrical, 114 mm top | Higher capacity to be checked |
| CLIMB | CLIMB 16-M | 16 m | 12-sided polygonal | M capacity |
| CLIMB | CLIMB 18-S | 18 m | 12-sided polygonal | S capacity |
| CLIMB | CLIMB 18-M | 18 m | 12-sided polygonal | M capacity |
| CLIMB | CLIMB 20-S | 20 m | 12-sided polygonal | S capacity |
| CLIMB | CLIMB 20-M | 20 m | 12-sided polygonal | M capacity |
| CLIMB | CLIMB 20-G | 20 m | 12-sided polygonal | G capacity |
The letter S, M or G alone is not sufficient to select a pole. The reference must be compared with the weight and permissible surface area tables for the wind speed and category corresponding to the site.
Pole-top equipment
Crossarm or platform depending on the number of floodlights
The pole-top equipment must reproduce the aiming directions defined by the photometric study while respecting the mechanical capacities of the pole.
Multi-floodlight crossarm
For arranging several floodlights along one or more axes.
Platform or walkway
To be considered when the number of floodlights, rows or access requirements justify it.
Mounting plates and orientations
The number of mounting plates and levels depends on the reference and layout plan.
Accessories and additional equipment
Complete the SKY or CLIMB pole according to pole-top and maintenance requirements
Accessories are products separate from the pole. Their selection depends on the height, SKY or CLIMB family, number of floodlights, weight and SCx of the pole-top assembly, as well as the maintenance conditions planned for the site.
Modular floodlight crossarm
Reinforced crossarm designed to arrange several high-power floodlights on a high-mast pole.
- several lengths and layouts;
- clamps adapted to the pole family;
- weight and SCx to be added to the pole-top assembly;
- floodlights sold separately.
Climbing rung access kit
Assembly including rung supports, safety bars and ladder support, with pricing defined according to the pole height.
- versions according to height;
- SKY / CLIMB compatibility to be confirmed;
- lifeline not included;
- portable ladder not included.
Vertical lifeline
Lifeline sized according to the height fitted with climbing rungs, with fixed anchoring, tensioning and retaining components.
- length adapted to the height;
- anchorages to be confirmed with the pole;
- harness not included;
- mobile fall arrester not included.
Foldable rest platform
Platform with two foldable steps designed to create an intermediate support point within the access system.
- one catalogue reference;
- mounted using screws or U-bolts;
- quantity defined according to height;
- rungs and lifeline sold separately.
Maintenance platform
Platform available in three widths to organise maintenance operations around equipment installed at the top of the pole.
- widths of 1, 1.5 or 2 m;
- weight and SCx without crossarm;
- floodlight crossarm not included;
- access system and floodlights not included.
Accessories must be checked against the pole reference
The crossarm and maintenance platform increase the weight and wind load at the pole top. The climbing rungs, lifeline and rest platforms determine the access system. Final compatibility depends on the SKY or CLIMB section, height and complete loads.
Define the pole-top assembly
Floodlights, orientations, crossarm, weight and SCx.
Prepare the access system
Climbing rungs, lifeline, rest platforms and optional maintenance platform.
Check the pole
Reference, height, section, wind conditions and maintenance requirements.
STADÉLUM method
Define the layout before selecting the structure
1. Analyse the site
Dimensions, setback, surroundings, site access and possible locations.
2. Define the objective
Required lighting level, uniformity, uses and playing conditions.
3. Design the layout
Number of poles, positions, heights, optics and aiming directions.
4. Check the pole top
Weight, projected surface areas, crossarm, platform, offsets and wind.
5. Confirm the civil engineering
Foundation, anchorages and soil to be validated for the actual site.
Point requiring attention
The foundations shown in the documentation remain indicative
The manufacturer's data sheet specifies that the dimensions are provided for guidance based on a bearing pressure at the bottom of the excavation of 2 bars.
The foundation and anchorages must be confirmed according to the reference, loads, wind conditions, soil and applicable rules.
Technical resources
Compare references and permissible capacities
The documentation presents sections, references, heights, permissible surface areas, loads and foundation guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Selecting the right SKY or CLIMB pole
What is the difference between SKY and CLIMB?
SKY uses a tapered cylindrical section, while CLIMB uses an 8- or 12-sided polygonal section depending on the reference.
Which heights are available?
The STADÉLUM selection focuses on heights from 16 to 20 m. The manufacturer's documentation covers a wider range of references from 15 to 24 m.
Can several floodlights be installed at the top of the pole?
Yes, provided that a compatible crossarm or platform is selected and the weights, projected surface areas, offsets and wind conditions are checked.
Are the permissible surface areas identical for all references?
No. They vary according to the reference, wind speed and category. The complete pole-top assembly must be taken into account.
Can the foundations shown in the manufacturer's data sheet be used directly?
No. They are provided for guidance only and must be confirmed according to the soil, loads, wind conditions and applicable rules.
Are the accessories included in the price of the pole?
No. The displayed price corresponds only to the pole. The crossarm, climbing rungs, lifeline, rest platform and maintenance platform are separate products ordered separately.
Which accessories can be added to a SKY or CLIMB pole?
Depending on the project, the configuration may include a modular crossarm, a climbing rung access kit, a vertical lifeline, a rest platform or a maintenance platform. The choice depends on the pole reference, floodlights and planned maintenance strategy.
