Material, length, and attachment determine reach, ergonomics, and stability. Here you will find clear guidance – including tips on attachments, system compatibility, and safety.
For tree care, reach, weight, and rigidity are the most critical factors. Additionally, consider which attachments you want to use and how quickly you need to switch between them.
Poles differ significantly depending on the application: Aluminum is very robust, carbon-hybrid is especially lightweight, and fiberglass is very stiff – but none are insulated and therefore conductive. (Observe safety and material instructions from the product documents.)
All telescopic poles are not insulated and can conduct electricity. Keep at least 15 m distance from power lines and use the poles exclusively for overhead tree care work.
Telescopic poles are infinitely adjustable and consist of a base tube plus 1–3 extensions, depending on the model. More segments often mean more reach; fewer segments can feel a bit more direct in certain situations.
What height do you need to reach regularly? It is better to include some buffer.
For longer jobs, a lighter material (e.g., carbon-hybrid) is often worthwhile.
Pay attention to transport length and ease of operation (fasteners, grip).
Medium reach, frequent switching between saws/hooks.
High reach, robust fasteners, intensive continuous use.
Compact and light – handling while moving is crucial.
Attachments can be easily mounted and replaced via a quick-change system. This allows you to switch between saws, hooks, and loppers depending on the task.
When cutting overhead, there is a risk from falling branches. Create a drop zone, work only from a secure footing, and wear appropriate protective equipment (e.g., helmet and eye protection).
→ Aluminum for intensive continuous use.
→ Carbon-Hybrid for fatigue-free work.
→ Fiberglass for tree care (not near electricity).
→ Look for Easy-Click and suitable quivers.
No. The poles are not insulated and can conduct electricity. Keep a safe distance from power lines.
Carbon-hybrid is especially light and is suitable for long work shifts if you want to reduce fatigue.
Estimate your typical working height, plan in a bit of reserve, and consider handling/transport length.
