Title: 7 storey pole length?
Post by: g.brookes on October 21, 2013, 06:23:09 pm

Evening chaps, as title says ive got a 7 storey modern building to clean.  What size pole would you recommend?  Currently highest i've got is 47 foot extreme.  Wondering how many extensions i'll need.  Or whether i'd even need to cherry picker instead?
Thanks for your advise

70ft pole at least. Modern buildings usually being 10ft per story

Yup.
Alex sells 6 at once.
He doesn't recommend using more that 6 extensions though.
If/when you get an extension(s) you'll know why they're so expensive.

you may find that a 80 footer may be required for the job in question. Ed
