Ionic’s CEO, Reuben Reynolds said, “J Racenstein is, of course, a very well known window cleaning supplier and we are delighted to have them as our distributor. When it comes to water-fed poles, we understand that the easiest, most productive poles need to be light in weight, rigid in use, and robust. In order to achieve the best possible performance at height, we have only ever used the highest quality carbon fiber components. Due to Ionic’s ongoing commitment to quality in the area of water-fed pole development we are pleased to announce that we shall be launching the world’s first High Modulus Carbon Fiber water-fed poles to reach 72ft. In addition there will be a new 28ft carbon fiber WFP for residential window cleaners and a new compact 65ft Carbon pole made from 6ft sections so that it can be raised and lowered by one operator, and can be more securely stored inside a vehicle. We are expecting these poles to be very popular, and are pleased to be able to offer them to American and Canadian window cleaners through our new distributor.”
The advantages that these new poles will bring to window cleaners are clear. Compared to the cost of a window cleaning contractor owning or hiring a hydraulic platform to reach 72ft, a window cleaner who is able to reach 80ft from the safety of the ground will be more efficient and therefore more competitive. At a time when building owners may be more cost conscious, the ability to quickly and safely reach as high as 72ft will give any business-minded window cleaner an immediate advantage over his competitors.
Window cleaners will be able to purchase these new poles from J. Racenstein following the official product launch in March
