Title: Gardiners Superlite?
Post by: detec52 on July 30, 2008, 04:58:55 pm
I have asked this before anyone know what the gardiners superlite poles are like? i need to go around 50ft, emporium poles i dont think so, as told they can break easy?  do many of you use one of these poles if so your thoughts on them please, i only clean commercial i have the hybrid 30ft thats ok but would not want to go above with this sort of pole, gardiners site say's they are out of stock so must be a good seller me thinks?? Cheers Rob.

Although i dont have one, i've read many posts from trusted, experienced guys on here & Alex gardiner being a talented pole engineer I would say it's the best modular pole on the market! ;)

You will hear nothing but positives about the sl2, i will be getting one very soon and everyone who has got one will give it nothing other then praise, especially now there is a very light brush on the market to go with it.

We have received the latest production run of the Super-Lites this week. We are working our way through the reservation list at the moment and as soon as this has been cleared they will go back as in stock on the website. I imagine that by the middle of next week they will be available for general sale again.

If like you say you clean mainly commercial your life is about to get 10 times easier and i`m not joking by saying that,the SL2 at that height is 3-4 times lighter than your current pole,if not it certainly will feel it.

It will fit in the kangoo even if you have a bulkhead closed,if the tension is right on the clamps and i think they all are now it`s only a little over 5ft closed.The clamps don`t butt right up against each other there has to be a little room for the clamp to close properly but it is a quality product.

Go for it mate . I got one a few weeks back and i'm loving it, even my daughter who's a size 8 remarked on monday "ooh its light innit" that was at 30 ft.

Only problem is if it is windy.

just thought I would correct this post for LWC Ltd ( sorry!!! ). The SL-2 is the latest modular pole from Gardiners. The telescopic one that is mentioned by LWC Ltd is the SL-X, which is a 25ft pole, the SL-2 is a high level pole capable of cleaning to 60 or even 70ft, Luke
