Telescopic Poles and Attachments Product information

ClickCleaning stocks telescopic poles and attachments for the professional and domestic window cleaner, from leading industry brands Unger and Ettore.
Telescopic poles transform window cleaning by extending your reach safely and efficiently, eliminating much of the ladder work that makes window cleaning dangerous and time-consuming.

The right telescopic pole system isn't just about reaching high windows - it's about working efficiently, maintaining control at extended lengths, and having equipment that won't let you down when you're working at height. Poor-quality poles flex too much, making precise technique impossible, whilst inadequate locking mechanisms can fail at critical moments.

Our telescopic pole range covers all applications: TelePlus modular systems for versatility, Ultra HiMod poles for maximum performance, Carbon poles for strength and lightness, Aluminium poles for reliable value, and specialized attachments including brushes, dusters, and joints that extend system capabilities.

cleaners working on substantial commercial and residential buildings.

The 3-metre Ultra HiMod Extension Pole provides premium performance for mid-range applications. The advanced construction delivers exceptional rigidity-to-weight ratio that professional users notice immediately.

Unger Carbon poles offer excellent strength-to-weight characteristics through carbon fiber construction. The 6-metre Carbon Master Pole and 3-metre Carbon Extension Pole provide professional performance with reduced weight compared to aluminium alternatives.

Carbon construction excels in applications requiring extended use at maximum lengths. The reduced weight decreases user fatigue whilst the inherent stiffness maintains technique precision that aluminium poles struggle to match.

The 6-metre Carbon Master Pole provides professional capability for high-rise work whilst remaining manageable for daily use. Carbon poles are particularly valuable for operators who spend significant time working at extended lengths.

The 3-metre Carbon Extension Pole delivers carbon benefits for mid-range applications. The construction provides noticeable performance advantages over aluminium whilst remaining more accessible than Ultra HiMod pricing.

Unger Aluminium poles provide reliable performance at accessible pricing. The 6-metre Aluminium Master Pole and 3-metre Aluminium Extension Pole offer
proven designs that have served professional window cleaners for decades.

Aluminum construction provides dependable strength and durability whilst maintaining cost-effectiveness that suits smaller operations or budget-conscious users. These poles prove that effective doesn't require premium pricing.

The 6-metre Aluminium Master Pole handles most commercial applications whilst providing excellent value. The time-tested design delivers reliable
performance that supports professional productivity.

The 3-metre Aluminium Extension Pole suits general commercial and residential applications. This length covers most domestic requirements whilst providing commercial capability for standard building heights.

Unger nLite Aluminium poles bridge standard and premium categories with enhanced performance features whilst maintaining aluminium accessibility. The
4.5-metre Master Pole provides extended reach with improved characteristics.

Specialty poles include the Unger One Section Pole (60cm) for close work and the Ergo Handle Extension (14cm) for ergonomic improvements. These accessories optimise system performance for specific applications.

Unger Stingray poles support the specialised Stingray indoor cleaning system. Available in 2ft (short) and 4ft (long) versions, these poles enable the unique Stingray cleaning approach for interior glazing.

The Stingray system represents specialised equipment for specific applications rather than general window cleaning. The poles are engineered specifically for Stingray tool compatibility and technique requirements.

Attachments extend pole system capabilities beyond basic window cleaning. The Plastic Angled Joint enables angled tool positioning for difficult access situations. The Starduster Brush and Lambswool Duster provide dusting capabilities for frames and sills.

Ettore Inter-lock Extension Poles offer alternative system compatibility for users of Ettore tools. The 3.6m pole provides substantial reach whilst maintaining Ettore system integration.

Pole selection factors include maximum working height requirements, user strength and endurance capabilities, frequency of use at extended lengths,
budget constraints, and compatibility with existing tool systems.

Professional window cleaners often use multiple poles: shorter poles for efficiency on lower windows, medium poles for general commercial work, and long poles for maximum reach applications.

Maintenance includes keeping locking mechanisms clean and properly adjusted, inspecting poles for wear or damage that could affect safety, and storing poles properly to prevent damage during transport.

Safety considerations include understanding pole limitations at maximum extension, maintaining three points of contact when possible, avoiding electrical hazards, and using appropriate stabilisation techniques for extended reach work.

Pole technique differs from traditional methods and requires practice to develop proficiency. Proper grip, leverage use, and pressure control become critical skills for effective extended-reach cleaning.

Telescopic Poles and Attachments FAQs

What length telescopic pole do I need?

Consider your highest regular windows plus some margin for technique. Most domestic users need 3-4 metres maximum. Professional window cleaners often need 6+ metres for commercial buildings. Remember that longer poles are heavier and
harder to control.

It's often better to have multiple shorter poles than one very long pole that's difficult to handle for routine work.

What's the difference between aluminium, carbon, and Ultra HiMod poles?

Aluminium poles are economical and reliable but heavier. Carbon poles are lighter and stiffer, reducing fatigue during extended use. Ultra HiMod represents premium performance with maximum strength-to-weight ratio.

For occasional use, aluminium is fine. For professional daily use, carbon or Ultra HiMod pay off in reduced fatigue and better control.

Are modular systems like TelePlus worth the extra complexity?

For professional window cleaners who need different lengths for different jobs, yes. You can configure exact lengths needed whilst spreading costs over time. For domestic use, fixed-length poles are usually simpler.

The modularity really benefits professionals who need to optimise pole length for efficiency on different building types.

How do I maintain telescopic poles properly?

Keep locking mechanisms clean and properly adjusted - dirt and grime can cause slipping. Inspect regularly for wear, cracks, or bent sections. Store poles properly to prevent damage during transport.

Pay particular attention to the bottom sections which get most wear from contact with ground and buildings.

What causes poles to slip or collapse during use?

Usually dirty or worn locking mechanisms, overloading beyond pole capacity, or improper locking technique. Clean mechanisms regularly and replace worn parts. Don't exceed manufacturer weight limits.

Also check that you're using proper locking technique - some mechanisms require specific procedures to lock securely.

Can I use any tool with any telescopic pole?

No, different pole systems use different attachment methods. Unger tools generally need Unger poles, Ettore tools need Ettore compatibility. Check attachment compatibility before purchasing.

Some universal adapters exist, but using matched systems usually provides better performance and reliability.

What's the maximum reach I can achieve safely?

This depends on pole design, user capability, and working conditions. Most professional poles are rated to their full extension, but control becomes more difficult at maximum length. Practice with shorter extensions first.

Wind, user fatigue, and technique all affect safe working reach.

How do I control technique at extended lengths?

Use proper grip positions, leverage the pole weight rather than fighting it, and develop smooth movements rather than trying to force precision. Extended reach requires different technique than close work.

Practice makes a huge difference - extended reach cleaning is a skill that develops with experience.

What attachments do I need for my pole system?

Basic needs include compatible squeegees and washers. Angled joints help with difficult access. Brushes and dusters extend capabilities beyond glass cleaning. Consider your specific applications.

Start with basics and add specialized attachments as you identify specific needs in your work.

Are expensive poles worth the investment?

For professional daily use, premium poles pay off through reduced fatigue, better control, and longer service life. For occasional domestic use, mid-range poles usually provide the best value.

Consider your usage level and the physical demands of your typical work when evaluating pole investments.
