Title: Advice needed for commercial clean pole size
Post by: Richard Neal on October 27, 2010, 08:46:33 am
I am pricing up some large (for me) commercial buildings, i am using a clx 22 for all of my usual work up to 2 storey, 2 of the sites im looking at are 2 storey with large areas of glass up to the roof height which would be almost 3 storey, just wondered what  size poles you use on these type of cleans, i am thinking of getting a clx 27 would this do? it seems that over this size starts to get very expensive due to weight etc.
Any advice appreciated!

i got a xtel  with 7 sections,  and find this can get up some 4 floors but does most 3 floors, and just take the sections off that i dont want to use

i have a brodex hydra 25 footer that just about reaches 3 storey on a few big houses and commercial i clean.i like the extra weight at this height as if its a bit windy i would think the clx would blow away!

i also have a 30 ft unger extension pole converted into a wfp.its awful and very bendy but it would do if i need it for even more height esp if its just for one or two jobs.

i also use the clx 22ft for everyday run of the mill work.great pole.

maybe the clx 27footer is the right choice as then you can use it as a back up pole for when you snap a clamp on the 22ft!just be careful at full extend on even slightly windy days esp if your cleaning on a main road!! ;) ;D ;D ;D
