Product Description
6FFM-DSm – 6' Dielectric Foam-Filled Fiberglass Mid Pole (Individually Tested)
The 6FFM-DSm is a professional-grade mid pole designed specifically for arborist pole saw and pruner systems—not for recreational or general-use applications like pool poles. Manufactured by Fred Marvin Associates (now part of the Notch Equipment family), this 6-foot section adds strength, length, and safety to modular tree pruning setups.
What sets this pole apart is its foam-filled fiberglass construction combined with individual dielectric testing, offering a higher level of electrical insulation confidence than batch-tested alternatives. It's ideal for tree workers who may be operating near power lines and require maximum safety assurance.
Key Features
- Length: 6 feet – mid pole section for tree pruning systems
- Construction: Foam-filled fiberglass for enhanced strength and moisture resistance
- Dielectric Testing: Individually tested to ensure superior electrical insulation performance
- Compatibility: Industry-standard 1-1/4" diameter fits most common arborist saw and pruner heads
- Connectors: Male and female ferrules allow secure integration into multi-pole systems
- Origin: Made in the USA
Usage & Safety Notes
- Electrical Safety: Maintain a minimum clearance of 50 feet from power lines—electricity can arc and dielectric tools are not foolproof
- Protective Gear: Use appropriate PPE including helmet, gloves, and safety glasses
- System Use: Only for arborist pole pruning systems; not a generic or pool pole
- Genuine Parts: Use only Marvin-authorized poles and components to ensure safety and compatibility
The 6FFM-DSm dielectric mid pole is a top-tier choice for tree care professionals who demand extra safety when working at height and near electrical hazards. Its individually tested construction provides added peace of mind, making it a reliable link in your pruning pole system.
