If i bought a 51ft sl2 can you buy and add sections to it to make it longer?
Also, when are these poles coming back in stock?

The longest they sell is actually the 56ft one and this is made up of 6 tapered top sections then same size base sections for the rest. In theory you can go as long as you want with the system but eventually physics would make it break.
What height did you need.......?

Hi Mark,

As has been said it is fairly easy to add more extension sections. We officially sell the Super-Lite up to 56ft so you can effectively achieve this by just adding one section.

Unofficially we do have quite a large number of clients who have added more sections and are regularly using this pole at heights of 75ft+, whilst this is proving achievable for them we cannot recommend it due to  product liability and insurance purposes. We also have not carried out testing at above the 56ft level. If damage were to occur when in use at this height it would not be covered under the poles 6 month warranty.

If you decide that you need to use it higher than 56ft then it is completely possible to do so. You would need to carry out a suitably stringent risk assessment of the task to cover your own liability issues, as is true with any high level cleaning.

As to when they are coming into stock, they are technically coming into stock next week, but all of the extension sections of this batch have been reserved already (mainly as part of 56ft pole assemblies). Another batch of 300 will be arriving by mid-July so this will ensure ready availability after that time.

thanks all for the information.
I got a free listing on yell which appeared today and i got a call on the back of it this afternoon from a management co asking if i could clean some windows within their budget.
The windows are upto aprox 40ft, but some are set back and would think 45ft shoud be enough, but if not, to add another section.
I had a quick look but haven't gone round to price it properly. I dunno if i will get or take the job but wanted to know what the options were if i took it on.
Thanks again.
