The Pole That Carries Every Inspection.
The ALTUM telescopic pole is the ultra-light carbon backbone of the whole system, a patented, in-house developed pole that extends to 18.2 metres and accepts every ALTUM module. One pole, every module: buy it once and reconfigure it for visual surveys, ultrasonic thickness measurement, EMAT and B-Scan. One operator reaches the steel from the ground, with no scaffolding, rope access or drone permits.
One Carbon Pole. Every Module Clamps to It.
CSpect (Ostend, Belgium) developed the ALTUM pole in-house and patented it. It is made from 100% high-modulus carbon over 12 sections, extends to 18.2 m and closes down to just 1.96 m for transport, at a total weight of only 4.1 kg. Carbon is what makes that possible: light enough to carry and raise by hand, stiff enough to hold the camera or ultrasonic probe steady at full extension.
The pole is the single base for the entire ALTUM range. The visual module, the UTM Ultra-Light, the UTM with grinder (crawler), EMAT and B-Scan all clamp to this same pole, so you buy the pole once and add the modules a job needs. SepcoTech supplies and supports the ALTUM range, so the system, the configuration advice and the after-sales support all come from one partner.

The Pole, in Detail
The base item of every ALTUM system. Add it to your quote and pair it with the module(s) your inspections call for.
Telescopic Inspection Pole
An ultra-light 18.2 m telescopic pole in 100% high-modulus carbon, the patented base of the ALTUM system. Extended it reaches roughly 18 m from the ground; closed it packs down to 1.96 m for easy transport, weighing just 4.1 kg. Every ALTUM module clamps onto the same pole, so a single pole serves visual inspection, ultrasonic thickness measurement, EMAT and B-Scan across every job.

Start With the Pole. Add What the Job Needs.
Every ALTUM system is built the same way, and it always starts with one pole. Choose the module(s) for the inspection, then a viewer and any extras.
1 · Start with the pole
The 18.2 m, 4.1 kg carbon telescopic pole is the base of every system. Buy it once: every module clamps onto this same pole, so you only pay for the pole one time.
2 · Add your module(s)
Visual camera for condition, welds & coatings; UTM Ultra-Light or UTM with grinder (crawler) for wall thickness; EMAT for couplant-free readings; B-Scan for corrosion mapping. Mix as many as you need on the one pole.
3 · Add the viewer & extras
A tablet or phone viewer, plus job-specific extras such as the 3 m horizontal overhang, a 10 m in-tank cable, spare batteries, probes and couplant.
A Whole Inspection Toolkit on One Carbon Pole
Reach, weight and portability are the point, and the reason one operator can do from the ground what used to need an access crew.
