The rocker switch enables the user to extend and lower the pole at the push of a switch. This is a precise function, which offers superior control when extending and retracting the pole. It also makes it easier for the user to attach the hook to the target.
If the rocker switch is released, the pole will hold its position until the user re‐engages the switch, allowing further extension or retraction.
The electric motor control is easy to operate with gloves on and, in the event of a problem, the user can activate the folding handle to allow full manual control of the pole. This bypasses the motor and enables further extension and retraction. The user can quickly convert the pole back to electric mode at any time in just four simple steps. Simple battery replacement procedure allows mid-mission change over if required.
The mark three electric Telescopic Pole is rated to IP68. This enables the pole to be submerged to a depth of 15m for up to two hours and remain operational.
