1. Short product description
Gripo Alu is classified in NS-EN ISO 9999 as a medical device and within the product group
180806, and is defined as a TELESKOPIC POLE to carry support devices.
The pole is tested according to EN 12182 and approved for a horizontal load of 100 kg on the
middle of the pole with maximum length 3,0 meter.
It is produced in the materials of aluminum and plastic and intended for clamping between the
floor and ceiling of any room where the ceiling and floor have enough strength to withstand a
point load of 100 kg.
In each end of the pole there is a plate-shaped end plate with a friction ring installed. The force
between the plates is maintained by a gas spring with an average pressure of 100 kg. This
makes the pole possible to be installed without use of any form of screw or nail connection,
causing perforation of floor or ceiling, and the dismantling of the bar leaves no marks.
With support of different accessories the pole can be adapted to many different pole use
situations.
The pole can be used in rooms with headroom from 2,1 meter to 3,0 meter, and it is delivered in
only one model in which the aluminum tubes are in the colour nature aluminum, and all plastic
parts in black colour.
