Measuring poles

Made by Japanese manufacturer Senshin, using telescopic fibreglass sections.
The internal measuring tape is not made out of steel but fibreglass.

All of these poles have an internal tape measure which provides superior accuracy and ease of reading. It also avoids potential reading errors when one of the sections is not extended, which can happen with poles with a graduation printed on the outside of the pole.

The 8m version is the most popular and is widely used by organisations like the Roads & Traffic Authority and the Police highway patrol for checking vehicle heights and overhead clearance. 

• The model SK202 poles are available in 4,6,8 and 12 m height.
   
• Reading the height is easy with the in-built tape measure which the manufacturer calls digital for unknown reasons.
   
• The accuracy of the pole reading exceeds 1/2000
   
• tiltable hook adapts to your required point of reference

The diameter of the 8 sections of the 4 and 6 m pole ranges from 14 to 35 mm in 3mm steps
