What if we need a Short Pole?

A recent question on Gary Mauer's World Group asked, the following question...

What company manufactures the shortest pole for pure water window cleaning?

FYI, we can reduce the handle length on any of our 4 foot, 6 foot and 12 foot handles, as a Tucker Pole customer mentioned he did on Gary's World group site. We have replacement parts for just about anything. One of the advantages of aluminum is that it can be customized and it makes repairs in the field a possible option too.

Have a great weekend.

Sincerely,

Robin Tucker
