Telescopic Poles
Our range of Solo telescopic access poles provide a reliable solution for safely accessing fire detectors. Constructed from durable fibreglass, the poles are designed for use when testing detectors, and also when looking to remove or place a detector head.
The Solo 100 telescopic pole provides the longest reach, with its 4-sections extending to provide a maximum reach of approximately 6 metres. The Solo 108 - is a smaller, two section pole which provides a maximum reach of approximately 4 metres, finally we have the Solo 110 which, as part of our Urban range, is a more compact pole which extends over 4-sections to provide a maximum reach of approximately 3 metres.
The simple locking mechanism used on all our telescopic poles guarantees ease of use, whilst maintaining an optimum strength-to-weight ratio. In addition all telescopic poles can be used with a maximum of three extension poles to provide access to a maximum reach of 9 metres.
In use, Solo access poles must be held vertically during operation and a secure grip should be secured when raising or lowering. Before extension and use, it is important to confirm that all extension poles and test tool buttons are firmly locked into position.
As part of our training programme, we offer an online training course, which teaches the recommended techniques for the correct handling,extension and upkeep of the Solo access poles.

Telescopic Poles FAQs
What is a telescopic pole?
A Solo telescopic pole is a four-section pole that provides access to fire detectors, allowing testing, removal, and replacement.
How does a telescopic pole work?
Solo telescopic poles work using the locking button within each section. Once the relevant test tool is attached to the pole, each section of the pole can be extended to allow access to the required height. The locking buttons can then be disengaged to support the lowering of the pole.
How to extend a telescopic pole?
A Solo telescopic pole is extended by holding the pole vertically, with the base of the pole on the floor, and using the locking buttons to extend the sections of the pole until the desired height is reached.
