AUS Fibreglass Base Rod & Bung Hollow 1.2m

AUS Fibreglass Base Rod & Bung Hollow 1.2m

The AUS Fibreglass Base Rod & Bung Hollow 1.2m is the foundation section of the AUS extendable pruning pole system. Designed to provide a stable starting point for building long-reach pole configurations, it combines lightweight handling with the strength required for professional arboricultural, utility, and vegetation management applications.

Manufactured from high-quality hollow fibreglass, the rod offers an excellent balance of strength and weight for comfortable handling. The integrated protective bung helps absorb ground impact and reduce wear during regular use, while providing a secure base for extending the pole system with compatible intermediate and top rods.

Each rod is externally ground to produce a smooth finish before receiving a durable high-gloss lacquer coating for enhanced weather resistance and handling. Manufactured to EA TS 43-81 standards under ISO 9001 quality assurance procedures, every rod is individually labelled with the AUS manufacturer's identification, voltage rating, and unique serial number for complete traceability. Electrical testing and certification are available on request. Compatible with AUS and Stallion intermediate rod adaptors.
