Perhaps the most important decision for cleaning high places is to make sure you get the correct telescopic pole, because this will be the equipment you have in your hands every day, every day. Don't assume that they all perform the same task-choosing the right telescopic pole can help you work more efficiently and improve the product you provide, i.e. spotless ceilings, roofs or windows. Time is money. If you can provide better product drawings in a shorter time, we will customize the most cost-effective telescopic rod for you. The main differences between all rods can be attributed to materials, clamping systems and folding Or the difference in extension size. As a high-quality telescopic rod supplier, we will further explore these.

Telescopic pole material

Telescopic poles are usually composed of the following materials-each material has its own unique advantages.

Aluminum

Aluminum poles are very strong and wear-resistant, but are heavier than alternatives, so they are very suitable for home or occasional use. Generally speaking, they are limited to 25 or 30 feet because they become very difficult to control above this height. This is a good starting point because they are cheaper than alternatives.

FiberGlass telescopic pole

FiberGlass telescopic poles are light weight, and inexpensive, but can be flexible at full extension. Generally, these poles are limited to 20ft, as above this the flexibility makes them difficult to work with. These poles are perfect for somebody looking for an inexpensive pole, but also not wanting the weight associated with Aluminium poles.

Hybrid or carbon fibre composite

Hybrid poles are a mixture of materials, usually 50% carbon fibre. They are designed to offer some of the benefits of a full carbon fibre pole without the added cost. Hybrid poles are stronger than fibreglass but not as strong as carbon fibre poles.They are usually heavier than carbon fibre but liahter than fibrealass and are priced somewhere in between.Hybrids are our best selling "everyday" rod. Ideal for cleaning household properties and for spaces up to 30 feet, on top of which they become a little more flexible.Hybrid poles offer a good balance between cost and benefit, which makes them very popular, especially for new window cleaning businesses.

Carbon fibre

Carbon fibre is the gold standard for telescopic poles and they equate to strong, rigid and lightweight parts. The average price is higher than the poles mentioned above, but once you have used a carbon fibre pole, you will be hard pressed to go back. Carbon fibre is recommended up to a maximum of 50 feet and is especially important if you use poles all day every day. A light and strong pole will alleviate much of the physical strain caused by using an elevated intake pole for overhead cleaning.
