What marine telescoping products can Upsilon make?

Upsilon makes boat cover support poles, shade poles, telescoping boat hooks and flagpoles, from bare telescoping tubing to retail-ready products.

Can telescoping poles be used around seawater?

Yes. Upsilon marine poles use marine-grade anodized aluminum, or 316 / 316L stainless steel; salt spray testing follows ASTM B117 / ISO 9227, with hours set by finish and your requirements.

Aluminum or stainless steel for boat poles?

Aluminum is light and corrosion-resistant once anodized, good for support poles and boat hooks; for higher corrosion resistance, choose 316 or 316L stainless.

Do marine telescoping poles float if dropped?

Yes. Upsilon designs buoyancy into every water product from the start, so it floats whatever the section count.

How much load can a support pole take?

Locked, an Upsilon telescoping pole carries about 20–80 kg axially, depending on material, diameter and locking method.

What are the MOQ and lead time for marine products?

Finished and retail-ready products start at 3,000 pcs per SKU; bare telescoping tubing has no MOQ. Samples in stock diameters take 7–10 days; production takes 30–45 days after order confirmation.

Custom Marine Telescoping Poles & Boat Hooks

Q: How does the base avoid scratching the deck?

Upsilon makes bases and feet from soft, non-marking materials that will not scratch and will not punch through the end cap under load.

Q: Can one pole design come in several lengths?

Yes. Upsilon builds a full range of lengths and section counts to fit different boat sizes.
