Product Information
Full details
The Rackhams Venom 40ft Window Cleaning Pole is designed for professional cleaners who need exceptional reach and lightweight control for multi-storey buildings. Its primary benefit is enabling confident work on up to 5-storey structures with reduced user fatigue. A potential caveat is the specialized nature of its carbon fibre construction, requiring careful handling to maintain optimal performance. This pole offers featherweight efficiency through its 100% carbon fibre build, featuring 8 telescopic sections that extend to 12.2 m (40 ft) and retract to a van-friendly 1.95 m, weighing only approximately 2.4 kg.

FAQs
What is the maximum working height of this pole?
The Venom 40ft pole extends to 12.2 meters (40 ft), which is suitable for working on buildings up to approximately 5 storeys high.
How much does the pole weigh?
The pole weighs approximately 2.4 kg, making it very lightweight for extended use.

How do I transport the pole when it's not in use?
When fully retracted, the pole measures 1.95 meters, making it compact and easy to store in a van or transport.
Is the pole suitable for high winds?
While the pole is designed for stability, extreme winds at full extension can affect performance and safety. It is advisable to use caution or avoid use in very strong winds.
What maintenance is required?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and proper storage in a dry environment are recommended. Ensure sections are free of debris and clamps are functioning correctly.
What material is the pole made from?
The pole is constructed from 100% Carbon Fibre for maximum strength and minimal weight.
Troubleshooting
Pole sections are difficult to extend or retract.
Ensure there is no dirt or debris lodged between the sections. Wipe down the sections with a damp cloth. If the issue persists, check the clamp mechanism for obstructions and ensure it is not overtightened.
A telescopic section feels loose or wobbles.
Verify that the section is fully extended and locked. Check the clamp mechanism for the affected section; it may need to be tightened slightly. If the wobble is significant, inspect the section for any damage to the carbon fibre.
The pole rotates unexpectedly during use.
Ensure the Anti-Spin Clamp Technology is engaged correctly. Check that all sections are properly aligned and locked. If the issue continues, inspect the clamp mechanism for wear or damage.
The pole feels heavier than expected.
Confirm you are using the correct pole and that all accessories attached are within the intended weight limits. The pole's weight is approximately 2.4 kg; verify this against your expectations. Ensure no water is trapped within the sections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the Venom 40ft pole, gently extend each telescopic section by twisting and pulling. Ensure each section locks securely into place before proceeding to the next. Adjust the pole to the desired working height. Attach your preferred cleaning head (brush, squeegee) to the top coupling.
Compatibility: The pole is designed to integrate with standard window cleaning accessories. It is fully compatible with the Rackhams Power Pole Conversion Kit and Roof Cleaning Kit. For an enhanced pure-water system, it can be paired with Aquaspray® battery-powered water tanks and DI resin filtration systems.
Care: After each use, wipe down the pole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Pay attention to the telescopic sections to prevent grit from impeding movement. Store the pole in a dry place, preferably in its protective bag or casing, to prevent damage. Avoid extreme impacts or dragging the pole, as this can compromise the carbon fibre integrity. Periodically check the clamp mechanisms for debris and ensure they function smoothly.
