A telescopic pole, or extension pole, can be useful for residential, commercial, storefront, or route work. Extension poles are designed to be used with different attachments and traditional tools for professional window cleaners. Extension poles are also much more versatile than ladders. They are easier to transport on the job site, less bulky, and the safety benefits are enormous. The days of lugging around clunky, heavy, oversized ladders is over. WCR carries many extension poles from different brands, including XERO, Ettore, Maykker, Garelick, Unger, Moerman, Unger, and many more. Not all extension poles are created equally.

XERO Carbon
Fiber Trad Poles
The first Extension Pole we want to review is the XERO Carbon Fiber Pole - Trad Pole 2.0. This pole comes in sizes of 8, 12, 16, and 20 feet! These window-cleaning carbon fiber poles are light and durable for easy extension work. Each pole nests into the size above, so when you purchase the full 20-foot length, you can drop sections as you need. The clamps are very simple to use, and they are designed to prevent twists, turns, and pole slide-downs. When the clamps are locked, they don't allow the pole to rotate as some other telescopic poles do. There’s no need to twist anything. The smooth action and durable clamps keep extended sections locked in place, and these are bolted on, so no more glued-on clamps fail on you in the field. Each section also features a built-in end defender to keep your pole from getting damaged when you set it down. XERO’s compact design also makes it easy to transport and store.

This extension pole is designed with the highest quality materials, and you WILL feel the difference between Carbon Fiber and Aluminum. When you use a pole frequently, you will notice how light, rigid, and compact it is when compared to other extension poles on the market. It will massively cut down on fatigue and shoulder pain. We took the functional aspect of how we engineered our XERO waterfed poles and transformed them into an affordable extension pole for traditional tools. XERO Trad Poles allow you to pick your length, color and your pole tip. Choose between XERO, Unger, Unger, Moerman, or a Wagtail pole tip.
Remember that this is a full carbon fiber pole specially made for traditional tools. Each section is pulled apart, and end protection is included in every section, increasing versatility. We've developed an anti-spin acme pole tip for this pole and all XERO poles. Unlike many aluminum poles, all parts on this pole can be replaced, which falls under our premium XERO Warranty. We also have a simple upgrade kit to make any Xero Trad Pole into a water-fed pole, check out the XERO Deluxe Trad Pole Upgrade Kit.
We are so confident in the design of the XERO Trad Pole that we are positive this will change the way you approach pole work.
