Title: power pole where ????????
Post by: Window Washers on April 05, 2009, 09:28:04 pm: Right I am looking at power poles, where do you get them from apart from omni pole ? is there a different name for them ?

There reason I am asking is because the details are sketchy so what to view these poles and find out more details about them, does any one here know ?

I always thought they were Eagle Power Aluminium Poles in a different colour. This was only I disagreeumption though as they had the same twist lock fitting and many of the same top connectors:

Glyn, do you have any technical data on the poles and pics ? I will be getting a gutter vac system this year 90% sure will be from you.

The power pole I am told is heavy although the one I held at the show I thought was fine.

Post by: pjulk on April 06, 2009, 07:14:30 pm: I got my powerpole from omnipole about 4 years ago only gets used half a dozen times a week now but for two years i used it for everything.

It was blue when i got mine but i'm sure there silver now not that colour makes any differance.

I think its a good pole not the lightest pole about but i bet its the strongest.

I have the 36ft powerpole but mainly use it at 24ft.

Its outlasted about 6 other poles i have had in that time and i reckon i will still get another couple of years out of it.
