When your blasting or stemming operation demands extended reach and robust control, the 12-foot pole option is engineered to deliver. These poles are made from 1¼″-diameter, straight-grain poplar hardwood — purpose-built for placing and compacting explosive charges in boreholes.
Why choose a 12-foot pole?
Extended length gives operators reach into deeper bore holes or allows safe positioning further from the blast zone.
Maintains the same rugged construction as shorter lengths, so you don’t sacrifice durability for reach.
Ideal for large-scale jobsites, high-ceiling blasts or when setup demands maximum extension.
Shipping note: Because of the length this product often must ship via freight (LTL) rather than standard parcel.
Key Features:
Straight-grain poplar hardwood construction — chosen for minimal flex and high durability under repeated stress.
Full 1¼″ diameter — engineered for the explosives industry rather than thin poles disguised as heavy duty.
A variety of end-fitting configurations are available, e.g., ball & rubber plug, connector & adaptor base, ball & socket, etc., allowing you to match the pole to your tamping system.
Designed for the rigors of tamping and stemming in drill holes — not generic wooden poles.
What this means for your operation:
With the 12-foot length, your crew can efficiently handle deeper holes or operate from safer distances, reducing setup time and increasing productivity.
The end-fitting flexibility means you can adapt the pole to various tamping heads or attachments without needing a completely different pole.
Long-term value: a properly built 12-foot pole with full-sized diameter and premium hardwood means fewer replacements, less downtime, and greater confidence in your gear.
