Telescopic Sticks
Telescoping hotsticks are designed for long reach, speed, convenience and safety. All sections are fabricated with reinforced electrical grade fiberglass, for greater strength and high dielectric properties.
Hastings has a few styles:
-
Standard TEL-O-POLE with Tip Lock Feature
-
Heavy Duty TEL-O-POLE
-
V-Style TEL-O-POLE II
-
V-Style TEL-O-POLE Bucket Sticks
-
TEL-O-POLE Measuring Stick
-
Combination V-Style TEL-O-POLE II & Measuring Stick
The "V"-style TELO-POLE II has triangle-shaped components. Triangle shape enables each section to “lock in automatically”, no need to search for the button. Sections can be removed or added to make the stick the preferred length. Example: HV-235 remove 4 sections to make it 20 ft instead of 35 ft. The ergonomic design gives the operator a better gripping surface for better control.

Rescue Hooks & Static Discharge Sticks
Insulated rescue hook is an invaluable tool for any workplace. It is used to release a victim from contact. Confined spaces, in vaults, or just near electrical cabinets and switch gear are some of the places where this tool is a must. Insulated rescue hooks feature a foam-filled, fiberglass reinforced handle for superior electrical insulation and a coated, heat treated body hook with an 18” opening and are made in accordance with ASTM Standard F711. The stick is available in the standard lengths of 6 and 8 feet.
The Static Discharge Stick is designed to safely remove the static charge after de-energizing. This tool is pre-assembled and includes a brass alloy “U” hook, closed cell foam-filled tubular fiberglass switch stick made in accordance with ASTM Standard F711.
