Product Description
12TB Telescopic Fiberglass Pole – 12 Foot Base Pole for Arborist Pruning Systems
The 12TB Telescopic Fiberglass Pole is a professional-grade base pole designed for arborists and tree care specialists. Originally manufactured by Marvin and now part of the Notch Equipment family, this pole is commonly used in pruning and sawing pole systems where strength, reach, and reliability are critical. It features the industry-standard 1-1/4" diameter, making it compatible with most common arborist saw and pruner heads.
As a telescoping pole, the 12TB offers a major convenience: extra reach when you need it, less bulk when you don't. This eliminates the need to carry and connect multiple pole sections—just extend the pole when needed and retract it for tighter work or easier transport. It's a win-win for arborists who need flexibility in the field.
