OTT pole , have come across one in a deal i did for other items , i dont really need it but it came as a job lot , thing is i would like to sell it but dont know how to best describe it as have never really been a user of them , when i say its 60 foot its not in stone as i put it next to my Facelift 42 , working height of 45 as i was told when i got it , the OTT was at least 15 foot longer , so as you can see im a bit in the dark with it !
I dont even know if its GF /HYBRID / FULL CARBON .....
Please if anybody can give me a few pointers as to what i have it would be greatly appreciated as it has to go rapid , its in my way !!!

Post some pics.
-
yes a pic and a description would help and not it is 15 foot longer ;D
-
No pics at mo as its in my dads garage , i dont have anywhere long enough to store the beast !!
So maybe i should have said its in my old mans way ;D
But at that length its gotta be carbon or at least a mix , right ??
Can i get specs for these poles anywhere ?
I gotta get rid , my old man is doin his swede , i dont want the world for it trust me , i just want an easy life from the old git ;D

What colour is it, how long is it and how many sections ?
-
and do you know the make
-
I'm after a pole that's 11ft longer than a 49ft pole.
-
Window cleanin can be very stressfull at times Dean , but when i last added 49 to 11 it made 60 , not sure what it makes these days ;D
Stu O.T.T , which i reckon makes it ionics at a guess bud !

my guess is a glass fibre 8ft sections, that is just from the beast description ;D

If that's the case then he'll probably have to pay someone to dispose of it!!

Winpro , i think you might be right there mate ;D
But its a long pole for a cheap tag price , the right buyer that wants or needs this for non everyday use is gonna win out here cos as said , i dont want the world for it , and i just heard that one of my fellow windies just paid £150 plus vat for a 18 foot gf pole :o

OK just had the old man out against his wishes getting the lowdown on the pole .....
It has 6 sections , closed length is 13 foot :o
The base section is 6 foot and bright yellow , the rest are black but the top section is shorter than the rest .......
Any offers or info ?
This has to go , you wont offend to a point of course !

I had one and it was very unsafe to use,the length is approx 60 feet working height and the base section is about 6 feet and is yellow and the rest are about 10 feet black sections,it's impossible to extend to full lenght and use unless you are 12 feet tall,the black sections are quite rigid to some extent,I reckon it's a bit of both Glass fibre and Carbon fibre and the pole is ever so heavy to use, an accident waiting to happen,personally I would feel guilty asking for money as I gave mine away free but even then I felt guilty.
I don't think companys should manufacture poles of the ridiculas closed size and weight,even Popeye would have trouble using that beast,I know I did and the poor bloke I gave it to,I struggled with it and he even struggles putting it on his van :o

Why does it matter how tall you are to extend the pole?
I could be interested for the right price any idea of postage price?
-
let me use it in nov for a day and if it reaches the window i need it to reach i will have it off ya as i dont wanna pay loads for a pole i will use once every 6 weeks to do 1 bl oody window lol
-
Il take it off ya hands m8

Why does it matter how tall you are I hear you ask..............I would like to see you extend it to full lenght and try to use it,it ain't no Gardiner Pole you can just fully extend on the ground and lift up especially when the pole lenghts are so long and heavy as I know and have used one,only way is to use a platform.

when they first came out I believe they are two man jobs extend out the way, jam into bottom of building and walk the pole up, get it into position, and then one man clean and other deals with hose, then swap around because of weight
I used the 40 foot one and that is bad enough on my own
-
The clamps are at least 1O foot apart on the black sections is what I'm trying to say,work it out......lol

I know, what I mean is you extend it on the ground then starting at the brush end walk down the pole lifting into position, that is why it needs two men, strong ones at that ;D

Yeah and that's why I say it would'nt be a problem if the sole operator was 12 feet tall but some people obviously just don't get it,glad you are on the ball though.
