PowerPole Climb Faster, Work Safer
With low setup costs, high portability, and a landscape-friendly design, PowerPole works at the ideal height to reach tight spots.
Streamlined
PowerPole is three times faster than traditional pole systems and can be set up without the need for roof access. The quick attach poles feature tools-free couplers for fast assembly.
Safe and Stable
PowerPole’s drill-powered design prevents pump injuries, while the rugged steel stabilizers of the outrigger base provide stability. Midrail posts keep the walkboard secure.
Flexible for You
The landscape-friendly PowerPole is ideal for residential settings. It can be used without wall ties up to 24 feet (7.32 m), and a single person platform is available for quick access in tight spaces.
Flexible for What You Need
Our 6- and 12-foot (1.83 m and 3.66 m) pole sections allow you to mix and match to reach the specific height you need.
24 ft Work Height
The PowerPole system with outrigger base and v-brace tie provides 24 ft work height without anchoring the tie to the wall.
32 ft Work Height
Once anchored to the structure at 32 ft, the PowerPole system can be used without midspan ties (Note: This requires alternative access to anchor the tie and secure to the mast).
40 ft Work Height
Once anchored to the structure at 40 ft using the outrigger base and v-brace, the PowerPole system can be used without midspan ties (Note: This requires alternative access to anchor the tie and secure to the mast).
75 ft Work Height
The PowerPole system can be used to a maximum work height of 75 ft. This requires midspan ties every 16 ft and one at the top (Note: midspan ties are temporarily disconnected to pass).

Mechanics That Make Sense
With the ReechCraft PowerPole, traditional scaffolding and pump jack systems are a thing of the past. Our streamlined design gains you access between buildings, on rooftops, around landscaping, and more. The PowerPole is perfect for contract work on residential areas.
Efficient Single Platform
The single-person platform provides ample space for you and your tools. The platform quickly attaches to the climbing unit via the PowerLatch.
Automatic Overspeed Brake
The gearbox includes an integrated overspeed brake. This provides safety redundancy by automatically stopping the platform in the event of overspeed.
Drill-Powered Climbing Unit
Powered by a 1/2-inch drill, the PowerTrak™ system has a 650-pound (295 kg) load rating and is three times the speed of a pump jack system. Our gearbox eliminates typical electrical components, ensures portability, and features an overspeed brake for added safety.
Tools-Free Poles + Couplers
Updated, streamlined, extruded aluminum poles are easy to haul and install. The tools-free coupler allows for quick assembly. The pole’s contoured profile assists with grip, both during assembly and when tilting the system into place.
Frequently Asked Questions
The lifting capacity for the PowerPole system is 650 pounds (295 kg) per climbing unit, or 1,300 pounds (590 kg) for a twin configuration.
The outrigger stabilizers are positioned approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) from the wall, causing the system to lean toward the building and ensuring the majority of its weight rests on the base plate when in use. The outriggers are located beyond the system’s center of gravity and spread 4 feet (1.2 m) apart to provide exceptional stability that is far superior than a ladder.
The PowerPole can be used at a working height of up to 75 feet (22.86 m). If this height must be accessed often, consider using the PowerMast, which allows equipment to be built from the ground up and can pass wall ties without removing them.
There must be ladder access at all times, per OSHA requirements. We recommend also having a spare cordless drill on the platform with you. Extension cords should have locking prongs or be secured so that they cannot become unplugged. Be sure to use a surge protector with a lower amperage reset than the breaker in the panel.
PowerPole follows all relevant OSHA safety codes. The following are all applicable OSHA and ANSI codes for PowerPole: OSHA CFR 1926 Subpart L, Section 1926.451 – Scaffolds; OSHA CFR 1926 Subpart L, Section 1926.452, Paragraph (j); OSHA CFR 1926 Subpart M – Fall Protection; ANSI A10.8, A10.32.
In Canada, there is no specific consensus standard written for pole systems like the PowerPole. Therefore, CSA approval is not required or applicable. Rather, there is occasional mention of mostly generalized information written by Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) (similar to OSHA in the US). If the PowerPole system is used in accordance with the product safety and installation instructions, along with attention to specific national, regional, and local regulations, then the PowerPole system will meet or exceed the necessary requirements for those regulations.
The PowerPole utilizes our exclusive PowerTrak system, which is powered by a gearbox and standard corded drill. This makes it easy to operate without adding the excessive weight of a motor or needing specialized power sources. In addition, the gearbox components are easy to service and replace, lowering maintenance requirements and costs in the long run.

I waited too long to buy PowerPoles. During my twenty-plus years in the business, I’ve tried every labor saving tool, bit and blade known; some work and some don’t…these work!

It costs me over a dollar a minute when we’re not on the wall; we’ve already saved big dollars with the PowerPole, that’s why I demanded another set for the school job.
