Unger window cleaning pole: the fixing system
There are different systems for attaching tools to the Unger telescopic pole.
Compatibility between brands is possible with certain adaptations for certain tools.
Therefore, you must carefully check the compatibility of the accessories you wish to attach to the pole because, in fact, not all attachment systems are compatible with each other.
One notable feature is Unger's Ergotec mounting system, which includes a safety cone for locking tools onto the pole. This system prevents the tool from falling or rotating during operation.
The ErgoTec safety cone is standard on all poles in the OptiLoc and Teleplus range.
The Lewi poles feature a simple cone with a screw which also ensures secure attachment.
Unger tool attachments from the Ergotec range are adaptable to Lewi poles provided that the standard Lewi cone is changed to the 12104LW adapter onto which you can then fit the Ergotec NCAN0 cone.

Unger telescopic poles: everything safely within reach
Telescopic poles of different lengths with ergonomic handles allow you to work safely while remaining on the ground – without a ladder and saving time and money.

HiFlo fiberglass poles, Unger nLite carbon pole
These poles are primarily intended for use at great heights and for cleaning windows and solar panels with a pure water supply.
They have an internal or external water passage allowing softened water (via a water softener) to be conveyed to the washing brush.
The pole eliminates the need to work on a ladder
• With Unger telescopic poles, you can work safely up to a height of 10 m, while remaining on the ground.
• The Unger safety cone makes all work safer, as the tools snap into place and cannot fall out.
• Most accidents involving ladders are caused by improper handling, not by damage to the ladders themselves.
• Always check if cleaning can be done safely while remaining on the floor. If not, present your client with safe alternatives and their costs. Marking your presence with a "slippery floor" sign will prevent accidents.
• Always insist on working conditions that meet safety standards. Don't risk your life just because the client doesn't accept certain services!
• Always choose the safest route. Ladders should not be your first choice for convenience. However, for low heights, a three-section glazier's ladder remains an essential tool for the professional window cleaner.
• In certain circumstances, ladders become extremely unsafe: Rain makes the ground slippery, uneven ground or dirt can cause a ladder to wobble or even fall over.
Teleplus by Unger is inherently scalable.
