J-Lock™
TeleScoping Poles

These heavy duty aluminum alloy TeleScoping Poles are designed for special purpose applications to hold up to 80 lbs of equipment with low wind resistance at a height of 18-feet, up to 25 lbs at 30-feet, or up to 5 lbs at 45-feet. 

Poles are hollow, suitable for a lightweight cable to be enclosed within pole.  However, special care must be exercised to feed and retract cable during extension and collapse of pole, as any cable inside a pole is subject to entanglement and twisting.

Made of extruded 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, these all metal poles and locks are extremely strong, durable and easy to use.  Segments lock in place automatically with a simple twist when each segment is extended to full length. Unlock occurs by simply reversing the same motion. 

Poles may be made in any length of segments from 3-feet to 8-feet each. Longer segments may be possible for use with lighter weight equipment. Hybrid poles with more than 3-segments are available for special applications, using lightweight 6063-T832 drawn aluminum alloy tubing for the top segments. 

Standard base segment diameter is 3½ or 3-inches, with segments 2½-inches and 2-inches for extruded tubing, and 1½-inches and 1-inch for lightweight drawn tubing.

J-Lock™ TeleScoping poles are produced in large batch orders for custom manufactured applications.  A limited quantity of 18-foot J-Lock™ TeleScoping Poles and other miscellaneous sizes are available for individual orders

Poles MUST be mounted securely for any application.  External pole mounts suitable to be set in concrete or solid rocky ground, are available for various types of permanent installation. Custom pole mounts for permanent structural installation can be made available by special request, cost to be determined.  A base mount suitable to be set in concrete, or solid rocky ground, is available for various types of permanent installation. 

For equipment with a higher wind resistance, secure guy wires will be required to control lateral stresses.

Tip end diameter for standard pole is 2.0 inches.  Hybrid poles tip end diameter are 1.5 or 1.0 inches.  Poles may be fit with selection of tips shown below, price varies. 

Poles are packaged in cardboard shipping tubes suitable for standard shipment via traditional express and ground carriers.

Call or email for further information. 

Also available are lightweight fiberglass poles designed for general purposes with a variety of tip-end attachments.  See Fiberglass TeleScoping Poles.

Utilization Instructions
Extension: 
     1. LIFT tube segment up until it stops. 
     2. Rotate segment LEFT until it LIFTS up another two inches. 
     3. Continue to Rotate LEFT 3/4 inch, drop down to Locked position. 

Retraction: 
     1. Lift 3/4 inch and Rotate tube segment RIGHT. 
     2. Carefully LOWER tube segment until only 1 inch remains showing. 
     3. Warning: DO NOT DROP TUBE SEGMENT TO BOTTOM OF RETRACTION. 
         This would slightly damage the interior tube segments. Damage may stop ability to easily extend and lock segments.

.
WARNING
Pole strength and durability are untested.  However, manufacturer evaluations indicate impressive resistance to pole failure with nominal loads at end.  Poles are capable of being raised and lowered from horizontal to vertical while fully extended, without danger of pole failure or excessive bending. 
See Utilization Notes for all TeleScoping poles.
DANGER
Not recommended for use in the vicinity of electrical power, power lines or any other potentially electrical environment without proper additional safeguards, precautions and special personnel safety training.
