Hi Carl,

Look under the section WaterFed Poles, fourth section down is the Super-Lite poles, look under the heading Super-Lite Pole assemblies gives you prices and weights.

If you buy a 60'er do you essentially have a 5' to 60'er?

Thanks.

[Alex Gardiner]

That is the idea.

It actually works out at about a 7ft to 61ft pole.

hypothetically could one go to heights of 70'?

[Alex Gardiner]

Hypothetically one could do many things!

Whilst we do not advocate or recommend going higher than 60ft, there are several operators who are using this pole set-up at 70ft+. We can provide extra joint strengthening that help the pole withstand the extra stresses (although some are using it without). Also a Lanyard support system can help minimise the risk of cross winds.

I personally would not want to use any pole at these sort of heights. Although the pole would still be very light (4.3kg at 76ft) there would be issues with controlling the pole in any side winds. A cradle or 'cherry picker' would be another option.

Heres a pic of a "lanyard" attachement, its one part of a safety device I developed  for one person operation, high pole work. I call it a "Sky Hook". Will have to get round to writing a report.

Do you have an up close photo of the joints, gooseneck, or brush?

Thanks.
