When you are working at that height you want the best lightest poles your body will thank you for
it,when you ring up just ask 2 questions what’s the lightest stiffest pole you do please you could
always call Ionic I think they do a line in scaffold
poles 🤣🤣

Not strictly true, the Ultimate is better than the Xtreme at height despite being heavier.

At what height does the Ultimate make a difference. If you are comparing the 47ft X3  Extreme against the 46 Ultimate I bet the difference is minimal. I can understand as you start to 60 - 70 ft the rigidity of the Ultimate would come into its own.

The ultimate is much stiffer at all heights than an extream but the higher you go the worse the extream is for bend and sideways bend as well ,

I have a 35ft extreme as well as others at different height and the 35 is bendy it’s best height is 25ft it’s as stiff as a broom,I wouldn’t want to go higher than 35ft with that pole it’s a bit like wrestling a big fish unless it’s a completely still day.

Ive got the old super max 47ft compact dont think they make them any more had it years upgraded to the smart clamps still going strong must say its very bendy at full stretch hard to control i only use it when there is zero wind

I used my 35 extreme today it’s far too whippy.

Maybe just keep it as a whole  pole then and will last for years if I just use for high rise only. Maybe stick with my SLX 22 for everyday pole. I can’t justify spending £1362 and the other sections not lasting long.

If your doing work this high then  it needs to be priced for the use of equipment  - justifying the spend for doing the work doesn't come into it

Problem comes if you charging cheaply for this type of work

The higher you go the more it costs I had this conversation with a customer today I basically said poles for that kind of height ie 35ft + cost a lot of money,charging more for using a pole of this height helps recoup some.

You'd be daft not charging more for higher level work, poles cost more. Not so easy to work high as low in winds and gusty weather. and more tiring so need to justify the extra pricing for the extra difficulty otherwise why bother!

Cheers for that guys. TBH it is actually well priced and provides a nice yearly income. So basically I need to stop being a tight wad and buy the pole I need Lol.
