Who Is The Makita LE400MP Extension Pole Ideal For?

-
Municipal & Council Workers: Relying on the extended reach to aggressively prune thick, overgrown shrubs and dense roadside foliage that sit high atop steep, inaccessible embankments or retaining walls.

Solid Steel Internal Drive Shaft: Delivers unyielding commercial performance. Unlike cheap hollow tubes that warp and shatter, the solid steel internal shaft transfers massive rotational RPM from the engine to the cutting head smoothly. It significantly reduces mechanical vibration, prolonging the life of the equipment.
