after reading the posts on transporting used utilities poles i thought i would post some more information: on average a class 4, 40 ft. pole (4- 40) weights 1200+ pounds and that weight is not equally distributed along its length. loading the butt end towards the front of the trailer has its own hazards because the bulk of the weight is not placed over the trailer axles and as the photo shows, six poles does not take up a lot of space on the trailer, therefore the thought process is, there's room for one more and soon your are critically overloaded for trailer and tow vehicle. our utility also sold used poles but felt it was to our advantage to load them for the customer providing he had sufficient tow vehicle, trailer and binders. we also determined the amount of poles that where loaded. personally i think used poles on open an sided building is ok if good sound poles are used but i would rethink their use for nice enclosed buildings. used poles have great uses as fencing, corrals or penning facilities and other uses. i have used many carefully selected poles for piers, foot and tractor bridges.
