DETAILS
PLUS A & B Extensions are the key to the REACH-iT Pole Design - giving the best value when investing in a Water Fed Pole.
Using the 80:20 RULE, we understand that you should focus your attention on solutions that increase your efficiency in the areas that you spend 80% of your time - namely Ground to 2 stories for RESIDENTIAL Window Cleaners, and Ground to 3 or 4 stories for Window Cleaners servicing COMMERCIAL Window Cleaning Customers.
When choosing your MASTER Water Fed Pole, choose one designed for 80% of the glass you clean, and then use extensions to reach the higher, less frequent windows.
Remember, you don't need to buy what you don't need today - if you own a WARRIOR, you can reach 65 FEET at anytime in the future.

TACTICAL PLUS SPECIFICATIONS:
PLUS A and PLUS B are made from an equal or higher modulus carbonfiber than the TACTICAL Pole, and are fitted in the middle of the pole - adding core rigidity where it is needed to the TACTICAL Pole as you extend it higher.
Each PLUS Extension adds 8ft 4" EXTENDED LENGTH to your TACTICAL. PLUS extensions are 'inverted 2-part telescopic poles' which means you fit them into the Master Pole 'upside down'.
PLUS A fits the TACTICAL between sections 1 and 2. PLUS A is a 2/1 extension.
PLUS B fits the TACTICAL between sections 4 and 5. PLUS B is a 5/4 extension.
They are made from HIGH MODULUS CARBONFIBER, the same as the top 60% of TACTICAL.
We have discontinued our PLUS C (formerly 8/7 XT extensions) pole extensions because they add a disproportionate weight to the base of the TACTICAL Pole (twice the weight of PLUS A) and load the pole to flex more at the top when it is extended to extreme heights.
In place of PLUS C, we have released SHOCKSTOP , our Insulator Handle made from Kevlar, and weighing less than 1lb.
HOW TO USE PLUS A and PLUS B for TACTICAL:
Remember, as PROFESSIONAL Window Cleaners, we know the maximum height we will be extending the pole to, so it is easy to plan which extensions you will need on any one job.
TO FIT PLUS A:
1 Remove section 1 from TACTICAL
2 Pull the yellow handle markings on the lower 'inner' section of PLUS A to expose 6-8" of pole - this sets the 'overlap' that supports the rigidity of your pole at extreme heights. The greater the overlap, the greater the pole rigidity. Close and adjust the clamp.
3 Open the 'top' clamp of PLUS A. insert section 1 from TACTICAL until you feel it stop. This means you have the same overlap as the amount of pole showing at the bottom of PLUS A. Close and adjust the clamp.
4 Raise the pole up, open the lower clamp, and pull the balance of the section 1 out of the PLUS A.
5 To connect TACTICAL, remove sections 4,3,2 from the TACTICAL Master Pole.
6 Open the clamp of section 2, and insert section 1 of the PLUS A into the clamp with a 6-8" overlap.
7 Raise sections 2, 3 and 4 of the TACTICAL - the total pole is now around 25 FEET actual length.
TO FIT PLUS B:
1 Pull the yellow handle markings on the lower 'inner' section of PLUS B to expose 6-8" of pole. Close and adjust the clamp.
3 Open the 'top' clamp of PLUS B. insert section 4 from TACTICAL (as above) until you feel it stop. This means you have the same overlap as the amount of pole showing at the bottom of PLUS B. Close and adjust the clamp.
4 Raise the pole up, open the lower clamp, and pull the balance of the section 4 out of the PLUS B.
TO FIT A SECOND PLUS B:
1 Pull the yellow handle markings on the lower 'inner' section of the next PLUS B to expose 6-8" of pole. Close and adjust the clamp.
3 Open the 'top' clamp of the second PLUS B. Insert section 4 from the first PLUS B until you feel it stop. This means you have the same overlap as the amount of pole showing at the bottom of PLUS B. Close and adjust the clamp.
4 Raise the pole up, open the lower clamp, and pull the balance of the section 4 out of the second PLUS B.
5 Add sections 7, 6, 5 of TACTICAL to the base of the second PLUS B by opening the clamp of section 5, and sliding the section 4 from the second PLUS B until there is 6-8" overlap. Close and adjust the clamp.
6 Extend sections 5, 6, and 7 of TACTICAL to make a pole that is 50 FEET actual length (55ft reach).
HOW TO USE PLUS A and PLUS B for WARRIOR:
Remember, as PROFESSIONAL Window Cleaners, we know the maximum height we will be extending the pole to, so it is easy to plan which extensions you will need on any one job.
TO FIT PLUS A:
1 Remove section 3 from WARRIOR
2 Pull the yellow handle markings on the lower 'inner' section of PLUS A to expose 6-8" of pole - this sets the 'overlap' that supports the rigidity of your pole at extreme heights. The greater the overlap, the greater the pole rigidity. Close and adjust the clamp.
3 Open the 'top' clamp of PLUS A. insert section 3 from WARRIOR until you feel it stop. This means you have the same overlap as the amount of pole showing at the bottom of PLUS A. Close and adjust the clamp.
4 Raise the pole up, open the lower clamp, and pull the balance of the section 3 out of the PLUS A.
5 To connect WARRIOR, remove sections 5,4 from the WARRIOR Master Pole.
6 Open the clamp of section 2, and insert section 3 of the PLUS A into the clamp with a 6-8" overlap.
7 Raise sections 4,5 of the WARRIOR - the total pole is now around 27 FEET actual length.
TO FIT PLUS B:
1 Pull the yellow handle markings on the lower 'inner' section of PLUS B to expose 6-8" of pole. Close and adjust the clamp.
3 Open the 'top' clamp of PLUS B. insert section 3 from WARRIOR (as above) until you feel it stop. This means you have the same overlap as the amount of pole showing at the bottom of PLUS B. Close and adjust the clamp.
4 Raise the pole up, open the lower clamp, and pull the balance of the section 5 out of the base section of PLUS B.
TO FIT A SECOND PLUS B:
1 Pull the yellow handle markings on the lower 'inner' section of the next PLUS B to expose 6-8" of pole. Close and adjust the clamp.
3 Open the 'top' clamp of the second PLUS B. Insert section 5 from the first PLUS B until you feel it stop. This means you have the same overlap as the amount of pole showing at the bottom of PLUS B. Close and adjust the clamp.
4 Raise the pole up, open the lower clamp, and pull the balance of the section 5 out of the base of the second PLUS B.
5 Add sections 7,6 of WARRIOR to the base of the second PLUS B by opening the clamp of section 6, and sliding the section 5 from the second PLUS B until there is 6-8" overlap. Close and adjust the clamp.
6 Extend sections 6 and 7 of WARRIOR to make a pole that is over 65ft FEET actual length.
To give greater rigidity to WARRIOR at this extreme length, increase the overlap from 6-8" to 12" - each increase in overlap changes the behaviour of the pole at extreme extension. A little time calculating the actual length you need, compared to the actual length you have, can make a big difference to the total control you will have at extreme height, and your subsequent efficiency.

FAQ
Should I buy the REACH-iT MINI, TACTICAL or WARRIOR water-fed pole?
Buy the pole for the height you clean most of the time, then add extensions for the rare higher jobs. MINI: 100% carbon fiber, for mostly homes and low commercial work, and it takes one PLUS B extension. TACTICAL: the most popular pole, same size as the MINI but stiffer high-modulus carbon, so it reaches 3 stories, up to 5 with extensions. WARRIOR: the stiffest pole, made for commercial work at height, 43 ft / 13.1 m of reach and up to 65 ft 8" / 20.0 m with extensions. All three pull apart for lower windows and come with the Kevlar SHOCKSTOP insulator handle.
What are the specs of the REACH-iT TACTICAL water-fed pole?
Reach: 35 ft / 10.7 m, which is 3 stories. Extended length: 30 ft / 9.1 m. Compact length: 4' 8" / 1.42 m. Weight: 7 lb / 3.2 kg. Sections: 7 plus the SHOCKSTOP handle. Material: high-modulus carbon fiber in the upper sections. With PLUS A and PLUS B extensions (8' 4" / 2.54 m each) it reaches up to 51 ft 8" / 15.7 m. Sections 1 and 4 pull out for a shorter, lighter pole on lower windows.
What are the specs of the REACH-iT WARRIOR water-fed pole?
Reach: 43 ft / 13.1 m. Extended length: 38 ft / 11.6 m. Compact length: 5' 10" / 1.78 m. Weight: 9 lb / 4.1 kg. Sections: 7 plus the SHOCKSTOP handle. Material: high-modulus and ultra-high-modulus carbon fiber. That is 4 stories with the SHOCKSTOP. Each PLUS adds 11 ft 4" / 3.45 m: with PLUS A and PLUS B it reaches 65 ft 8" / 20.0 m (6 stories), and a second PLUS B takes it to 7 stories. Sections 1, 3, 5 and 7 pull out for a shorter, lighter pole on lower windows.
Which PLUS extensions do I need for my REACH-iT TACTICAL, WARRIOR or MINI pole?
Add PLUS A first, then one or two PLUS B. TACTICAL: each PLUS adds 8' 4" / 2.54 m, and the pole goes from 35 ft / 10.7 m (3 stories) up to 51 ft 8" / 15.7 m (5 stories) with PLUS A and PLUS B. WARRIOR: each PLUS adds 11 ft 4" / 3.45 m, up to 65 ft 8" / 20.0 m of reach with PLUS A and PLUS B, and a second PLUS B takes it to 7 stories. MINI: takes one PLUS B only (8' 4" / 2.54 m), for 43 ft 4" / 13.2 m of reach. You can also buy PLUS BB or PLUS BBB sets, which skip PLUS A. They work, but PLUS A then B gives the most rigid pole. Extensions are made for one pole model, so choose your pole on the product page.
Will a TACTICAL PLUS extension fit a REACH-iT WARRIOR pole?
No. PLUS extensions are made to match each pole. TACTICAL PLUS A fits between sections 1 and 2, and TACTICAL PLUS B between sections 4 and 5. WARRIOR extensions are ultra-high-modulus carbon and longer. The TACTICAL PLUS B also fits the MINI.
How much overlap should I leave when fitting REACH-iT PLUS extensions?
Leave 6-8" / 15-20 cm of overlap at each joint: pull the yellow handle markings to show that much pole, then close and adjust the clamp. More overlap means a stiffer pole. On a WARRIOR at full extension, increase it to 12" / 30.5 cm. PLUS extensions fit into the pole upside down, as inverted 2-part telescopic sections.
Which REACH-iT pole is right for homes, town commercial or city buildings?
Homes, 1-2 stories: an 18 ft / 5.5 m HYBRID pole on flat ground, 24 ft / 7.3 m on hills, or the MINI for more stiffness and the option to extend. Town commercial: MINI or TACTICAL give 3 stories out of the box, and the TACTICAL extends up to 5 stories with PLUS A and PLUS B. City buildings and extreme heights: the WARRIOR, 43 ft / 13.1 m of reach, extendable to 65 ft 8" / 20.0 m, so one operator can clean from the ground.
