The two flat sides of the OVA8® telescopic pole add more stability and therefore more control for the operator, a huge “safety” plus. Any experienced operative will tell you how dangerous and annoying a spinning pole section is. The flat sides of the OVA8® pole cancel out that “whipping effect” either from moving a pole at height from one window to another, or ‘bouncing off the glass’ motions.
Operators will be more productive and work safer – both for themselves and others around them. Holding any item in the hand for long periods can be painful which is why the OVA8® design combines two flat sides enabling it to sit more comfortably in an operator’s hand and allowing the tips of their fingers to sit on the flat edge. It has been found that handling an OVA8® pole requires less grip to control the pole, either from pushing it up and down, or from firmly holding the base section to move the pole to the next window.
Arriving at the final oval shape wasn’t easy, as many other shapes had failed (round, square, hexagon, octagon, lobe) in one area of design or another, so designing the right shape had to provide more than one feature of anti-spin. Eliminating the rotational spin of the pole section around the clamp area results in less wear of the pole material. Also, because of the anti spin pole section, our OVA8® oval clamps work less due to only having to prevent the pole sections from moving up or down.
With sizes ranging from 2.6m/8.5ft to 18.2m/60ft, you are bound to find the right size for your job.
