What is the maximum height VERTMAX poles can reach?
The VERTMAX telescopic poles are available in three models that can reach up to 9 meters, 12 meters, or 15 meters when fully extended.
How fast can the pole be extended and retracted?
The pole is designed for quick action. It can be fully extended in just around 2 seconds and retracted back in about 3 seconds, making it very efficient in time-critical situations
What is the pole made of, and how durable is it?
The pole is made from aircraft-grade aluminium (6061-T6) with an anodized finish. Components like ladder rungs are fiberglass reinforced, so it is lightweight, strong, and resistant to wear.
What safety features are included?
Safety features include a tactical ascending ladder, grappling hook, sturdy rungs, and titanium hooks — all designed to ensure reliable use even under heavy loads.
How much does a 15 m fully-loaded pole weigh?
fully loaded 15 m pole with all its components weighs about 19.9 kg (roughly 44 lbs).
Can the pole work in wet or outdoor environments?
Yes. The materials are corrosion-resistant and weather-tested, making the pole suitable for outdoor and demanding field conditions. Regular checks are still advised for long life.
What is the break load capacity of the ladder rungs?
The fiberglass ladder rungs have a minimum break load of around 4,800 lbs (about 2,180 kg), giving them high strength for tactical use.
What is the grappling hook made from and how strong is it?
The grappling hook is crafted from heat-treated Grade 5 titanium (6AL-4V) and has a break load capacity of about 2,200 lbs (1,000 kg), depending on the style used.
What pressure does the system reservoir handle?
The pneumatic reservoir is engineered to safely hold up to 2,000 psi (around 140 bar) of pressure, which powers the fast extension of the pole.
What are the collapsed dimensions and how portable is it?
When collapsed, the 9 m pole is about 1.8 m, the 12 m is about 2.2 m, and the 15 m is about 2.7 m in length, making them compact enough for easier transport.
