WFP Telescoping or Modular 40 ft & up

I want to find out what type of pole you guys prefer for commercial.
I like the Super Max SLX. because it’s telescoping, but the maximum reach is 51 Ft. I have the SLX 35 ft reach…but it’s about 4 ft short of reaching the 3 story commercial windows that I just bid on. Sure wish I could add one more section.

It depends on which levers you have, from what Shawn told me.

With my pole it’s not possible…last I heard.

Ask Shawn if you can change out the levers.

I had a word with the manufacturer and this can be done.

We use the sectional Gardiner Superlite 56’ for the really high ups and love it. It’s so light. Can’t imagine using anything else anymore.

We used to use an Ionics Carbon Fiber 45’ telescoping and it feels like a ton when its up at 30’. I am curious to feel how light the new Ionics 72’ sectional pole is.

Thanks

The nice par t about a modular pole is you only use the number of sections you need which makes for a lighter pole. Also a modular pole is much easier to raise up on a building. I have worked at 60 ft with both telescopic and modular. The modular poles are much lighter, they do not have the weight of the clamps.
