What are the differences between all of the different telescopic poles available from Gardiner Pole Systems? This simple guide will explain the strengths and characteristics of each of the pole range types. CLX – Robust and reliable budget range of poles suitable for most work at 3 storeys and below SLX – Full carbon pole with greater rigidity, wear resistance and strength than the CLX range. Longer versions provide a compact budget pole for higher level work Super Max Series 2 – Robust, reliable and good value pole for working at heights with good rigidity Super Max 3K – Robust, hard-wearing pole with good bounce suppression and good rigidity for working at heights Xtreme – Rigid, lightweight and easiest to use telescopic poles for high level work. Shorter poles provide easy low level working for those with injuries or work issues. Note that these poles are not as hard-wearing or as robust as the other pole ranges. Ultimate – Choose these poles if you want the most rigid, strongest and hardest wearing pole at high levels.
