Extension poles are great to attach scrubbers and squeegees for traditional window cleaning. These poles are typically made of carbonfiber, or a mixture of carbonfiber, making them easier to use than heavy aluminum extension poles. This helps reduce day to day fatigue and wear and tear over the years of washing windows. Manufacturers in the window cleaning industry and dedicated to inventing innovative and effective tools. Moerman, of all the top brands, is continually coming out with new window cleaning tools. One of their most intriguing new products is their Takumi Deluxe 8-foot carbon fiber and fiberglass extension poles.
Of all the Takumi poles, this is the most rigid pole that allows cleaning from the ground easily. Extension poles help window cleaners work safely from the ground, eliminating the need for climbing or ladders! This is a professional trad pole designed professionally with a high standard of quality and durability. You will notice their advanced collars, similar to the pole collars on the Moerman Carbonator. The lever flips closed to firmly hold the sections in place and flip open to allow you to extend or collapse the pole. It comes with the Moerman Pole Tip which includes a locking button that works with multiple brands of tools.
Why the name Takumi? Moerman chose the word Takumi because in Japanese refers to an artisan or master craftsman. While yes, the pole is high tech, it is also built affordable specifically for window cleaners. This pole has great functionality and design.

Questions you may have:
- How long is this pole? The Moerman Takumi deluxe pole is 8 feet. This is the fully extended length. Because it is 3-section, it collapses down further than a 2-section pole. The collapsed length is 3 feet, great for easy storage in your work vehicle and easy to carry around on the job.
- What tools fit onto this pole? The Moerman Pole Tip comes on the end of the Moerman Takumi pole. It attaches in three different ways: Friction Fit- The top of the pole tip is tapered. This allows you to attach tools (like most window cleaning tools) with a friction fit. Push the tool’s handle onto the pole tip and give it a twist while pushing it on. This will give a firm connection that stays in place and is easy to remove with a simple pull and twist. Standard ACME Thread- Many dusters use this common, wide thread that’s on the very end of the pole tip. Locking Button- The Moerman locking button works with ALL Moerman tools.
- Are replacement parts available for this pole? Yes! The Moerman Pole Tip is replaceable and can be found on our website.
