Manufacturing Capabilities
Aluminum Telescopic Pole Manufacturing Capabilities
Poolpole is a vertically integrated aluminum telescopic pole manufacturer based in Jiangsu, China. Since 2002, we have operated 14 extrusion presses (350T to 2,000T), 2 automatic anodizing lines, in-house plastic and rubber components, and complete pole assembly — all under one roof. Our 3,000-tons-per-month capacity supplies international pool brands, OEM importers, and top US big-box retailers.

Years in Aluminum Manufacturing
01 · Extrusion
Aluminum Extrusion: 14 Presses, 350T to 2,000T
Our extrusion workshop runs 14 forward and reverse aluminum extrusion presses covering the 350T, 500T, 600T, 800T, 1,400T, and 2,000T tonnage range. This spread lets us extrude small-diameter telescopic pole inner tubes on smaller presses and large-diameter outer tubes or thick-wall reel shafts on the 2,000T press without compromising metal flow or grain structure.
We extrude both 6063 and 6061 aluminum alloys per ASTM B221. Billet composition is verified on-site with an Oxford optical-emission spectrometer before each extrusion run — not after, when the metal is already in the die.
For multi-section Teleskopstangen aus Aluminium, the bottleneck is tube-to-tube fit. Outer diameter, inner diameter, wall thickness, roundness, and straightness all have to land within tight tolerances simultaneously, or the pole binds or wobbles when telescoped. Our die design and exit-table cooling are tuned for that constraint, which is why a 3- or 4-section pole from our line slides smoothly and locks without play.
02 · Surface Treatment
Anodizing & Surface Treatment: 2 Automated Lines
Our two automatic Anodisieren lines run in continuous operation with on-site wastewater treatment. The standard color program covers black, matte black, satin, brushed, blue, gold, and champagne. Custom Pantone matches are available on MOQ-qualifying projects.
Sandblasted texture is prepared on three long-bar sandblasters and two short-bar sandblasters before anodizing, which allows matte and satin finishes on long pole sections without seam marks. Because the anodizing line is in-house, we tune anodic film thickness and the slide-fit tolerance of telescopic sections together — finished sections still telescope smoothly after coloring, not just before.
Mechanical surface options like polishing, brushing, and laser texturing are scheduled before anodizing on the same factory site, so a telescopic pole doesn't ship out for finishing and come back with extra freight, lead time, and shade variation between batches.
03 · Post-Processing
Post-Processing: Pole-Ready, Not Just Tube
Drilling & Punching
Hole patterns for spring-loaded locking buttons, cam-lock pins, and accessory clip mounts. Punches and milling machines available for thick-wall sections.
Necking & Flaring
Tube-end forming for taper joints, push-fit ferrules, and grip-end transitions. Lets multi-section poles use stepped diameters instead of plastic bushings.
Tapping & Threading
Internal and external threading for screw-on accessory tips, brush adapters, and threaded connectors. Both metric and imperial thread profiles supported.
Polishing & Brushing
Pre-anodize surface prep on polishing wheels and brushing machines. Critical for satin and brushed anodized finishes with consistent grain direction.
Laser Marking
Customer logos, lot codes, and traceability marks engraved with fiber laser. Survives anodizing and outdoor pool environments without fading.

04 · Plastics & Rubber
In-House Plastic & Rubber Components
A telescopic pole is more than an aluminum tube. Poolpole produces the plastic locking mechanisms, internal positioning sleeves, end caps, connectors, limit stops, rubber dampers, and overmolded grip handles in the same factory — not subcontracted to a separate plastics shop.
This matters operationally: tube outer diameter, plastic insert fit, and lock-button stroke are tuned together. A 0.1 mm tube-OD drift does not turn into a sticky lock six weeks later, because the same QC team owns both sides of the interface.
For OEM buyers, single-factory consolidation cuts SKUs, NDAs, and shipping legs. The full scope of accepted file formats, MOQs, and IP policy lives on our OEM services page.
05 · Assembly
Complete Telescopic Pole Assembly
Poolpole delivers fully assembled, ready-to-use telescopic poles — not bags of loose tubes and locking parts. Outer tube, inner tubes, lock cams, plastic inserts, end caps, and grip are assembled in-line, function-tested, and packed per your retail or wholesale carton spec.
For OEM customers running a concept-to-mass-production pipeline, we support each stage: concept evaluation → CAD review → structural proposal → 3D hand sample → tooling → small-batch trial run → mass production. Each stage gates the next — no committing to tooling before the prototype telescopes correctly.

06 · Inspection & Lab
Inspection & Lab: Verifiable Data, Not Claims
Oxford-Spektrometer
Optical-emission analyzer for billet alloy composition. Confirms 6063 / 6061 chemistry before extrusion against the customer's accepted alloy range.
Lemit Cross-Section Scanner
Profile geometry scanner from Israel. Measures the full cross-section against CAD reference — outer/inner diameter, wall thickness, and corner radii inspected in seconds.
Hardness Testers (Barcol · Webster · Rockwell)
Three hardness scales used in parallel for cross-checking temper. Barcol for anodized surfaces, Webster for fast aluminum testing on the line, Rockwell for laboratory verification.
Film Thickness Gauge
Eddy-current gauge for anodic coating thickness. Confirms film stays inside spec across long pole sections so color depth and slide-fit are both repeatable batch to batch.
Tensile & Salt-Spray Lab
Tensile machine for yield and ultimate strength on extruded tube, plus corrosion exposure testing per ASTM B117 salt-spray standard.
Color Comparison Light Box
Standardized D65 light box for anodized color matching. Production samples are compared against the customer's master sample under controlled lighting — not factory fluorescents.
The full inspection workflow — from incoming billet to pre-shipment AQL — is documented on our quality assurance page.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
Capabilities FAQ
What aluminum alloys do you extrude for telescopic poles?
Poolpole extrudes both 6063 and 6061 aluminum alloys for telescopic pole applications. 6063-T5 is the default for pool cleaning poles and indoor handles — it anodizes evenly and offers strong corrosion resistance. 6061-T6 is reserved for load-bearing assemblies and longer poles where higher yield strength matters. Billet composition is verified on our Oxford spectrometer before every extrusion run.
What's the largest profile cross-section you can extrude?
Our 2,000T press is the largest in the workshop and supports the widest cross-sections used for outer tubes of long telescopic poles and pool reel shafts. Smaller presses (350T–600T) are dedicated to thin-wall inner tubes used in 3- and 4-section pool poles. Send the drawing and we'll confirm feasibility for your alloy, temper, and tolerance window.
Do you handle anodizing in-house?
Yes — anodizing is fully in-house on two automated lines with on-site wastewater treatment. Standard colors include black, matte black, satin, blue, gold, and champagne; sandblasted matte and brushed satin textures are prepared on dedicated long-bar and short-bar sandblasters. Because anodizing is on the same site, anodic film thickness and telescopic slide-fit tolerance are tuned together, not separately.
Can you supply a complete telescopic pole assembly, or just tubes?
Complete assembly is standard. Poolpole produces the aluminum tubes, plastic locking components, internal positioning parts, end caps, rubber dampers, and overmolded grips all in-house, then assembles them into a ready-to-use telescopic pole. You receive a packaged product, not bags of loose parts — fewer SKUs to inventory, fewer suppliers to coordinate, and one container instead of three.
What in-house inspection equipment do you operate?
Our QA lab uses an Oxford optical-emission spectrometer for alloy composition, a Lemit cross-section scanner from Israel for profile geometry, Barcol / Webster / Rockwell hardness testers, an eddy-current film-thickness gauge, a tensile testing machine, a D65 color comparison light box, and corrosion exposure testing per ASTM B117 salt-spray. Inspection happens at every stage from incoming billet to pre-shipment.
What is your monthly aluminum production capacity?
Our Jiangsu facility's nominal monthly capacity is 3,000 tons of aluminum extrusion, scheduled across 14 presses. We typically reserve overflow capacity for peak pool-season demand from EU and US buyers. Lead-time and MOQ vary by project profile — send your spec to our team for a current production-slot and lead-time estimate.
