Transportation Savings

Lowest Logistics Cost Case Study

SUMMARYDiagram of a transport truck loaded with utility poles

Demonstrative transportation scenario:

  • How many 60 ft. [18.3 m] CL 1 RS, steel, wood, and concrete poles can be shipped in a single truckload?

PROBLEM

Visual comparison of how much space is taken up by 53 RS poles, 27 steel poles, 15 wood poles, and 6 concrete polesWith single-piece poles, especially those over 60 ft. [18.3 m], larger equipment, highway escorts, over-length permits, and more truckloads are required to transport pole resources.

RS POLE SOLUTION

  • RS poles are transported in compact nested bundles.
  • Lightweight RS modules can be transported using standard trailers and equipment.
  • Reduced transportation costs per pole.
  • For 60 ft. [18.3 m] CL 1 poles, the RS pole’s nested design can ship 26 more poles than concrete; 13 more poles than wood; and 5 more poles than steel on every truck.
