Product Description

Letter changer pole

The letter changer pole extends from 6' to 18' and allows you to change sign letters that are high up on an aerial marquee from the safety of the ground. It is quicker and easier than carrying or storing a heavy ladder. The mechanical changer pole telescopes mechanically and has a standard size 3-3/4 inch suction cup that can be used on flat rigid sign letters 6 inch to 12 inch tall. The suction cup head adjusts at an angle which permits fast easy handling of each letter from the safety of the ground.

The number one feature of this pole versus every other competitor on the market for your customer base is the “Lok-thread” built into the threaded end. This feature cleverly secures the letter changer to the pole and virtually locks it in place which prohibits the letter changer from loosening during use. Often times with competitor poles, the changer will loosen from the threaded ends which makes it difficult and frustrating to strategically place the letter onto the sign. I can ask our Marketing department to create something for to illustrate the Lok-thread in conjunction with a letter changer to post on your website should you desire.

Secure Lock-in-Place. Once the handle is extended to desired length, simply turn the locking mechanism a few times to lock the slider tube in place. To collapse the pole, reverse the turn which easily and quickly allows the slider tube to collapse.

Sturdiness. Once extended, there is very little 'wobble' allowing for precise placement of the letters.

Light weight. The fiberglass body and aluminum slider tubes are sturdy and robust, yet are lighter weight than many of the imported poles whose aluminum tubes are heavier and need to be seamed together adding weight to the pole.

Quality. We sell tens of thousands of these poles annually. Our return rate is less than 0.0215 percent.

Made in the USA. These extension handles are produced in our Greenwood, Missouri factory.

How to place marquee letters

This letter change arm is not for the thin .030 flex change sign letters.

Press the letter onto the suction cup, making sure the wire on the cup is off to right or left of the letter. If the letter will not stick, wet the cup and try again. Turn the eyebolt holding wire if the wire is too tight or lifting the edge of the suction cup. Raise the pole, with the letter attached, to the sign. Please use caution near overhead power lines, and do not touch the pole to any power lines or wires. Slide the letter under the lower lip of the top track, and drop down until the letter is resting in the bottom track. Lastly, gently twist the pole away from the wire to release the cup. You could optionally tie a string to the suction cup eyelet to pull on to release letter (string not provided).

How to remove marquee letters

Carefully raise pole to sign, and press the cup onto the letter that you wish to remove. If the letter will not stick, bring the pole down and wet the suction cup. When the cup sticks to the letter, raise the letter into the top track, and pull forward until you clear the bottom track. Lower the letter to the ground, and remove by pulling any eyelet on the suction cup.
