Description
The Stein Utility EPR variation covers three 122 cm pole sections—Base (685 g), Mid (685 g), and Foam‑Filled (835 g). Each delivers precision alignment, insulation safe to 75 kV/ft, and seamless compatibility across the Stein pruning system.
Stein Utility EPR Pole Sections – Base, Mid, Foam‑Filled Options
The Stein Utility EPR Pole Section range includes three options: the Base Pole, Mid Pole, and Foam‑Filled Pole. All are constructed from bias-woven fibreglass impregnated with epoxy resin for high stiffness, strength, and electrical insulation. Each section complies with a 75 kV/ft rating, making it safe for professional work near live lines when used correctly.
Consistent High-Performance Construction
Each variant shares precise epoxy-fibreglass construction, providing excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Precision-machined ends and stainless steel spring-button clips eliminate flex and ensure accurate alignment. All sections feature male and female fittings and use the VIELE Tool Adaptor system to connect pruning heads or extensions seamlessly.
Three Variants with Distinct Benefits
- Base Pole (1220 mm, 685 g) – includes a base cap; ideal as the foundation for building longer poles.
- Mid Pole (1220 mm, 685 g) – standard hollow section for extending reach.
- Foam‑Filled Pole (1220 mm, 835 g) – used as the topmost pole; foam prevents debris or water ingress to preserve insulation.

Safety and Usage Guidance
These pole sections are individually batch-tested for electrical insulation up to 75 kV/ft. Users must follow professional training, wear correct PPE, and avoid weather conditions with lightning risk. Do not use as a hot stick or without approved Stein attachments. Regular cleaning, polishing, and inspection help maintain dielectric performance.
