High-mast polygonal poles for sports lighting
Two families from 15 to 25 m for stadiums and large outdoor sports fields
STADIUM poles comprise the 1520 range with a 12-sided section and the 2025 range with a 16-sided section. They are designed for installations requiring significant height, several floodlights and a mechanical capacity to be checked according to wind conditions, loads and pole-top equipment.
The modular crossarm, climbing rung access kit, lifeline, rest platform, maintenance platform, floodlights and other additional equipment are not included. Each accessory has its own product page and must be selected according to the pole top, loads, wind conditions and maintenance method.
Overall dimensioning
STADIUM 12 sides or 16 sides?
The choice between STADIUM 1520 and STADIUM 2025 first depends on the lighting layout: number of poles, height, number of floodlights, optics, aiming directions and projection distances.
The mechanical verification then links this layout to the weight, projected surface area, offsets, crossarm or platform and the site's wind conditions.
Two complementary families
STADIUM 1520 with 12 sides and STADIUM 2025 with 16 sides
12-sided range from 15 to 20 m
Three capacity levels are documented depending on height: L, H and SH. L versions accommodate up to four mounting plates, while H and SH versions accommodate up to six, distributed over two levels.

Sports applications
Configurations designed for large outdoor areas
The visuals and cases below present typical uses. They are not actual completed projects or automatic dimensioning recommendations.
Football
The height and position of the poles depend on the pitch dimensions, available setbacks, required lighting level and number of floodlights.
Rugby
The width of the field, in-goal areas and projection distances may require greater heights and capacities.
Stadiums and multi-sport complexes
The presence of stands, a track, several areas or numerous floodlights may justify a platform and increased mechanical capacity.

Wind and permissible surface areas
Check the complete assembly installed at the pole top
The tables show different capacities for 22, 24 and 26 m/s, as well as for Cat II and Cat 0 categories. The value to use depends on the exact reference and the site.
Pole-top equipment
Arrange several floodlights over two levels
The mounting plates indicated in the data sheets make it possible to prepare different pole-top layouts. Their maximum number must not be confused with an automatic number of floodlights that can be installed.
Floodlight mounting plates
The number, position and aiming directions are defined by the photometric study.
Multi-floodlight crossarm
The crossarm must remain compatible with the pole-top geometry and permissible loads.
Walkway or platform
To be considered for pole tops with several rows, numerous luminaires or specific maintenance requirements.
Accessories and additional equipment
Complete the STADIUM pole with suitable equipment
The price on this page corresponds to the pole only. The floodlight crossarm, access equipment, lifeline, platforms and maintenance platform are separate products to be selected according to the pole-top configuration, pole height, planned maintenance and loads to be supported.

Select the equipment
Crossarm, maintenance platform, climbing rungs, lifeline and required rest platforms.
Check the configuration
Pole compatibility, loads, wind conditions and maintenance requirements.
STADÉLUM method
Define the lighting layout before selecting the pole capacity
1. Analyse the site
Playing area, setbacks, stands, surroundings, access and possible locations.
2. Define the objective
Required lighting level, uniformity, uses and playing conditions.
3. Design the layout
Number of poles, height, floodlights, optics and aiming directions.
4. Check the pole top
Weight, projected surface areas, mounting plates, platform, offsets and wind.
5. Confirm the civil engineering
Foundation, anchorages and soil to be validated for the actual configuration.
Point requiring attention
The foundations shown in the documentation remain indicative
The data sheets specify 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 calculation rules.
Technical documentation
Compare the references before finalising the structure
The two data sheets present heights, capacities, weights, mounting plates, anchorages and permissible surface areas according to wind conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Selecting the right STADIUM pole
What is the difference between STADIUM 12 and 16 sides?
STADIUM 1520 covers heights from 15 to 20 m with a 12-sided section. STADIUM 2025 covers heights from 20 to 25 m with a 16-sided section.
How do you choose between L, H and SH?
The choice depends on loads, projected surface areas, wind conditions, height, pole-top equipment and the tables specific to each reference.
Can six floodlights be installed whenever a data sheet indicates six mounting plates?
Not automatically. The maximum number of mounting plates must be checked against the weight, projected surface area, offsets, accessories and wind conditions.
Are accessories included in the displayed price?
No. The price corresponds only to the pole. Crossarms, mounting plates, platforms, access equipment, caps, cable supports and other accessories are defined with STADÉLUM and then priced in a separate quotation.
Which accessories should be considered for a high-mast pole?
Depending on the project, the configuration may include a modular crossarm, a climbing rung access kit, a lifeline, a rest platform or a maintenance platform. The choice depends on the pole top, floodlights and planned maintenance.
Why do the tables distinguish between several wind speeds?
The permissible capacity changes according to wind conditions and the site's category. The reference must be checked against the actual project data.
Can the foundations shown in the documentation be used directly?
Not as execution drawings. They are provided for guidance only and must be confirmed according to the soil, loads, wind conditions and applicable calculation rules.
Why carry out the photometric study before choosing the pole?
The study determines the layout, height, number of floodlights and their aiming directions. This information is then required to select the mechanical capacity.
Your high-mast project
