How long must the ski pole for the joint matcher be?

The ski pole for the joint matcher is specified to be 25 feet long. This length is important for ensuring that the matcher can effectively reach the correct areas during the paving process, allowing for accurate joint placement and consistency in the asphalt layers applied. A pole that is too short would limit the reach and possibly lead to improper alignment or coverage, while a pole that is too long might be cumbersome and difficult to handle. The 25-foot specification provides a practical balance, making it the optimal choice for paving operations. This standard is established based on best practices in the industry to achieve quality results while maintaining ease of use for the operator.
