This twist lock telescopic pole is built with a threaded connection between sections, so the joint locks by turning rather than by a separate clamp. Sections are custom made, which means the diameter and the extended length are set by the drawing you supply.
Where it is used
A telescopic pole of this type shows up wherever a support has to be raised, locked and lowered again: tent and awning frames, tarp and gazebo uprights, banner stands, camera and light stands, cleaning poles and display backdrops. The threaded joint is the reason buyers pick it over a plain friction lock, because a twist lock holds its setting under load and does not creep while the pole is carrying weight.
How to choose
Number of sections: work back from the packed length you need to carry. More sections mean a shorter pack and more joints to keep tight.
Joint type: this telescopic pole uses a thread connected twist lock. If the assembly is handled often by the same person, a twist lock is quick; if it is set once and left, a fixed pin may be simpler.
Diameter and wall: give the outer diameter of each section you intend to nest, and the wall thickness that has to carry the load.
Length: state both the collapsed and the extended length on the drawing, because the telescopic pole is made to those two numbers rather than to a stock size.
Finish: anodizing is the usual finish for aluminium sections and keeps the sliding surfaces from galling.
End fittings: say whether the ends of the telescopic pole need threads, caps, a spike or a flat foot, and where along the section the lock has to sit.
What to confirm before ordering
The section list, with diameter and wall thickness for every piece of the telescopic pole.
Whether the poles ship assembled or as loose sections for local assembly.
Packing and marking, if the poles go straight to a retail customer.
Lead time and minimum order, which are quoted per drawing because the tooling follows your sizes.
Questions buyers send us
Can the twist lock be replaced with a pin lock? Yes, and it is worth asking if your users wear gloves.
How straight is a long telescopic pole? Straightness is set by the drawing tolerance, so state it on the order.
