Adjustable Twist Lock Telescoping Aluminum Pole

Adjustable Twist Lock Telescoping Aluminum Pole

The adjustable twist lock telescoping aluminum pole is a telescopic support pole made from round aluminium alloy tube. The sections slide inside one another so the working length can be set by hand, and a twist lock collar at each joint holds the section where it has been set. It is used as a structural support part for tent frames, awning supports and display frames.

How the twist lock works

Each sliding joint uses a twist lock. Turning the collar in one direction releases the grip on the inner tube so the section can slide in or out, and turning it back tightens the collar around the tube and holds the section in place. The lock can be released and re-set at any point along its sliding range, so the length can be changed whenever the frame needs a different height or span.

Telescoping aluminium pole structure

The pole is built from round aluminium alloy tube. The outer tube carries the larger section while the next tube slides inside it, so the pole can be collapsed for storage and transport and extended when the support is needed. Aluminium alloy tube keeps the section light enough to move by hand, and the round profile suits the clamps and fittings used with round tube on frame work.

• Round aluminium alloy tube sections that slide inside one another
• A twist lock collar at each sliding joint
• Adjustable length across the sliding range of the sections
• Collapsed position for storage and transport
• Suited to tent frames, awning supports and support frames

Where the pole is used

The adjustable twist lock telescoping aluminum pole is used wherever a support has to be set to a length and then held at that length. Typical uses include camping tent frames and replacement tent poles, awning supports, banner frames, and general support frames that are assembled and taken down on site. Because the length can be adjusted and locked by hand, one pole type can serve several positions in the same frame.

Setting and adjusting the pole

To set the pole, release each twist lock in turn, slide the sections out to the length that is needed, and tighten the collar so the joint grips. Work from the outer joint inward, locking each section before the next one is extended. To close the pole, release the locks and slide the sections back together, and keep the tube and the collars clean so the twist lock keeps turning freely.

Summary

The adjustable twist lock telescoping aluminum pole is a light aluminium support pole with sliding sections and twist lock joints. It adjusts by hand, holds its length when the collar is locked, and collapses for transport, which makes it a practical part for tent frames and other support structures where a set length has to be kept while the frame is in use.
