ARS EXP telescopic poles – safer than a ladder
EXP poles extend from 3.29 to 5.61 metres and are compatible with all three UV saws, carrying the KWF Profi quality mark. The biggest risk in pruning at height is the ladder; a telescopic pole sidesteps it, putting the lower and middle branches of the canopy within reach from the ground in a safer posture.
The three pole lengths
A longer pole reaches further but is heavier and harder to control overhead. The weight determines how long you can work steadily at arm's length, so it is worth choosing for the height you actually need.
| Pole | Collapsed | Extended | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| EXP-3.3 | 1.41 m | 3.29 m | 1530 g |
| EXP-4.5 | 1.84 m | 4.56 m | 1720 g |
| EXP-5.5 | 2.18 m | 5.61 m | 2100 g |
Compatible saws
The same three saw heads fit all three poles; the cutting capacity depends on the saw.
| Saw | Blade length | Cutting capacity |
|---|---|---|
| UV-34 | 340 mm | 135 mm |
| UV-40 | 400 mm | 160 mm |
| UV-47 | 470 mm | 185 mm |
Ready-assembled combinations
If you would rather not put it together yourself, ready-assembled sets are available in the telescopic pole saw category, for example the UV-34 + EXP-3.3 or the UV-47 + EXP-5.5.
For thinner branches
If you only need to cut up to 20 mm, telescopic loppers are a simpler and lighter solution. An integrated saw version is the ARS EXW-2.7.
