Economical Construction-Series Design

The SECO 5530-10 is designed as a practical, no-frills pole for crews that need reliable field performance at a lower initial cost.

Its straightforward construction makes it suitable for construction layout, general surveying, and other applications where an adjustable graduated pole is needed without additional premium features.

Aluminum Inner and Outer Sections

Both the inner and outer pole sections are manufactured from aluminum, providing a balance of durability and manageable field weight.

The telescoping design allows the pole to extend to its full 8.53-foot working length while remaining compact enough for transportation and storage.

Dual 0.01 ft and Centimeter Graduations

The pole includes dual graduations for use with different measurement systems:

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

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

TLV Locking Mechanism

The TLV locking mechanism secures the telescoping pole at the selected height.

This locking style allows the operator to adjust the pole length and then hold the inner section firmly in position during surveying and construction 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 accessory directly above the intended survey or layout point.

Adjustable Tip and Hardened-Steel Points

The SECO 5530-10 includes an adjustable tip that allows the pole height or point 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 pole sections provide high visibility in active construction environments.

The contrasting finish also makes the graduations and pole position easier to identify while working across larger jobsites.

Ideal Applications

• Construction layout
• Prism positioning
• Grade staking
• Boundary surveying
• Topographic surveying
• Utility layout
• Site preparation
• Engineering fieldwork
