Separate sections of pole which lock together as opposed to telescopic, and i think would be lighter in weight. Not much use to me, but if you are doing a lot of high level stuff, who knows?.

So a Gardiner pole over 35ft, correct?

Ah I see. Clears that one up then lol

Yes
But only for work over 35 ft - very light and easier to use than telescopic poles at bigger heights ( except maybe the extremes ). But longer to set up so not a day to day pole

I'd never really seen them as a viable alternative to a telescopic pole and 95% of my work can be done with the trusty CLX-22.
However, just lately I've picked up some normalish work with a couple of high three story windows, a few rooflights with difficult angle access and some solar panels, so a pole around 45 feet + would be useful. Nice point about the modular is short sections for ease of storage and carrying and the ability to add too as well.

SL2 i use its a great Pole. I also have a SMAX 50 i think it is. If you only have one or two window to clean high up its easier to pop up the smax. If you've a lot of work at height then the SL2 is miles better. Bear in mind i'm not considering any other poles out there as there are other options and i havn't used them. Its not the erecting of the modular pole that takes time, i can shove one up as quick as anyone can erect a telescopic, its the fact of keeping/transporting the pole sections with you and having them to hand that leads to slowing you down. Its better as a two man operation when working one pole over 40 foot, for various reasons.
Just realised i have used pole just as big, Brodex 60ft Carbon fibre , telescopic. Non starter. I think Deegee and Ian101 have used the same pole, with the same results!! ;D

How come you are selling yours, have you found a replacement or has your work upto 40 foot dried up? If you have found a replacement then what is it you are using?

it only gets used 2 or 3 times so not really needed.
great pole and you buy extension sections but I just dont use it.
-
Used them the for years, maver sections before that
To be honest perfectly good for one man I wouldn't use them lower than the extreme 47
As it's almost as light, I use them up to seven floors but not so much interested with high work like that any more
But exceptional bit of kit if doing high work I wouldn't use anything else

You're selling it because you don't use it. OK cheers bud.
