Three times faster than a pump jack. Non-marking v-brace for added support. 6 ft and 12 ft pole section options.
Safe and Stable
Drill-powered design prevents pump injuries. Midrail posts make walkboards secure. Outrigger offers stability.
Flexible for You
Can handle residential landscapes. Special ties, v-braces, and more available. Basket offered, workable without wall ties.
Flexible for What you Need
24 ft Work Height
PowerPole pump jack scaffolding with PowerPort Outrigger 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 PowerPort Outrigger and V-Brace, the Power Pole 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
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.
Overspeed Brake
The gearbox includes an integrated overspeed brake. This provides safety redundancy by automatically stopping the platform in the event of overspeed.
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.
Quick Attach 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 each PowerPole climbing unit is 650 lb per single pole or 1,300 lb per twin system.
Even though the pole is vertical, the outrigger stabilizers are approximately five feet away from the wall. The outriggers are located beyond the system’s center of gravity, providing much more stability than a ladder. In addition, the adjustable stabilizers are spread four feet apart, so side-to-side stability is excellent.
The PowerPole can be used at a working height of 75 ft. 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. 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 is equipped with a gearbox and is powered by a corded drill.

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.
“Before I started using PowerPole, I didn’t think I could increase my production 300%…”
