SECO 5530-30 15 ft Twist-Lock Construction Prism Pole

Overview

The SECO 5530-30 15 ft Twist-Lock Style Pole is an economical Construction Series survey pole designed to provide dependable field performance at a lower purchase price.

Its three-section telescoping design uses aluminum inner and outer pole sections and extends to a maximum specified length of 15.25 ft (4.65 m). Dual graduations in decimal feet and centimeters allow the pole to support both engineering and metric measurement workflows.

A twist-lock mechanism secures each section at the selected height, while the integrated 40-minute vial helps the operator keep the pole vertical. An adjustable tip and hardened-steel points provide added durability and flexibility for construction layout, surveying, and prism positioning.

Economical Construction Series Design

The SECO 5530-30 is designed for field crews that need an extended-reach pole without the additional cost of premium features.

Its straightforward Construction Series design makes it a practical choice for construction layout, prism positioning, grade staking, and general surveying applications.

Three-Section Telescoping Pole

The pole uses three telescoping aluminum sections to reach a maximum specified length of 15.25 ft, or 4.65 m.

This extended working height is useful for measurements over obstacles, deep excavations, elevated control points, and other applications where a standard-height pole may not provide sufficient reach.

The sections retract for easier transportation and storage between jobsites.

Aluminum Inner and Outer Sections

The inner and outer pole sections are manufactured from aluminum.

This construction provides a balance of durability, manageable field weight, and resistance to common jobsite conditions.

Dual 0.01 ft and Centimeter Graduations

The SECO 5530-30 includes dual measuring scales:

• Decimal feet graduated to 0.01 ft
• Metric graduations in centimeters

This dual-scale design allows the same pole to support both engineering-foot and metric field measurements.

Twist-Lock Mechanism

The pole uses a twist-lock mechanism to secure the telescoping sections at the selected height.

Once the pole is extended to the required length, each section can be locked in position to help maintain a consistent prism or accessory height during measurements.

Integrated 40-Minute Vial

A built-in 40-minute level vial provides a visual reference for keeping the pole vertical.

Maintaining a plumb pole helps position the mounted prism or surveying accessory directly over the intended measurement point.

Adjustable Tip and Hardened-Steel Points

The adjustable tip allows the lower pole configuration to be fine-tuned for the field setup.

Hardened-steel points provide a durable contact surface for repeated placement on soil, pavement, concrete, and other common jobsite surfaces.

Red and White Finish

The red and white finish improves pole visibility across active construction and surveying environments.

The contrasting colors also make the pole easier to identify in work vehicles, equipment storage areas, and large jobsites.
