Light Pole Base

A Forte Company

What is Light Pole Base (LPB)?

LPB is a unique product that offers all of the advantages of precast, AND because of the patented adjustable anchor bolt system and four universal conduit pathways, it can be manufactured in advance, held in inventory, and made available to an installer when they call. Pre-engineered, with guidelines for when it is appropriate to use, LPB can generally accommodate light poles up to 30 feet in height, making it an attractive product offering for electrical and site contractors. With three distinct appearance options, and a host of value added features, LPB is changing the way the industry looks at precast light pole bases.

What is involved in producing LPB?

Our system has revolutionized and simplified the process of producing precast light pole bases. No more worrying about bolt patterns and conduit configurations – the setup process for LPB is the same every time! This allows you to save time and produce a more consistent product.

No special equipment is required, beyond what a typical precast facility already has

How long does it take to make a profit and how much can I expect to make?

While there are many factors under your control that affect how quickly you turn a profit and determine how much you will make, a typical LPB partner recoups their investment the first year. Typically, licensees achieve six-figure revenues and scale upwards from there.
