Magnetic Load Positioning Poles
Positioning
Pole
Guide suspended steel sheets, iron pipe, and other magnetic loads by pushing and pulling them from a safe distance. These poles have an on/off magnet at the end—release them by turning a switch on the magnet. Made of fiberglass, these poles are lightweight to reduce arm fatigue. They telescope for extra reach.
