« on: April 05, 2009, 09:28:04 pm »
Right I am looking at power poles, where do you get them from apart from omni pole ? is there a different name for them ?

There reason I am asking is because the details are sketchy so what to view these poles and find out more details about them, does any one here know ?

Omnipole I think are the sole UK importers.  Express Cleaning Supply are distributors for Omnipole.  You can buy them in America.  I cannot remember what they are called now but they are a silver colour rather than the blue colour in the UK.

We build them in our factory and have done for several years using only the highest quality materials..
Many of the fittings for them are  only available from us or our agents,as we manufacture them.

I always thought they were Eagle Power Aluminium Poles in a different colour.  This was only I disagreeumption though as they had the same twist lock fitting and many of the same top connectors:

Glyn, do you have any technical data on the poles and pics ? I will be getting a gutter vac system this year 90% sure will be from you.

The power pole I am told is heavy although the one I held at the show I thought was fine.

I got one from Chic Cleaning a few years ago and are not that good,Omnipoles might be alot better but the one I got from Chic Cleaning was a nightmare,the screw tight clamps wore on the black plastic threads and had to continuosly tighten the tiny screws with an allen key,they are made from aircraft aluminium and for a 6 section 36 foot it was still quite heavy and awkward,especially for the price I paid for it,like I say Omnipoles are probobly alot better quality but after my experience with my one I will not be buying another! :P

I got my powerpole from omnipole about 4 years ago only gets used half a dozen times a week now but for two years i used it for everything.

It was blue when i got mine but i'm sure there silver now not that colour makes any differance.

I think its a good pole not the lightest pole about but i bet its the strongest.

I have the 36ft powerpole but mainly use it at 24ft.

Its outlasted about 6 other poles i have had in that time and i reckon i will still get another couple of years out of it.
