5 Foot Length

5-Foot Length Loading Poles
When working in controlled blasting environments, precision, durability and control matter. This 5-foot length series of loading poles is engineered to deliver just that. Crafted from straight-grain poplar hardwood with a full 1 ¼″ diameter, these poles are designed specifically for the rigorous demands of tamping and stemming explosive charges in bore holes.

Available in multiple end configurations — such as plain, connector with rubber plug, adaptor base, male/female adaptor — this listing accommodates a wide range of field setups and requirements. 

Why choose a 5-foot length?

  • Compact enough for tighter setups and manageable where space is constrained.

  • Long enough to give sufficient reach and leverage for effective tamping without excess swing.

  • Ideal for intermediate operations, auxiliary blasts or where full-length poles may be unwieldy.

  • Can ship via UPS ground, saving a lot of money in shipping vs. LTL rates.

Key features:

  • Straight-grain poplar hardwood: for superior strength and minimal flex in high-stress use.

  • High-quality end-fittings: brass or aluminum alloy connectors, rubber plugs or threaded adaptors depending on model.

  • Purpose-built for placing and compacting explosive charges in bore holes — not low-quality alternatives disguised with paint. 

Browse the variants below and select the specific end-configuration that matches your jobsite equipment and blasting workflow — whether you need a plain pole for basic tamping or a connector/adaptor model for integrating with retrievers or other attachments.
