Teknipure TKM355H TekniMop Carbon Fiber 3-piece Telescoping Mop Handle, 13.5 ft (HANDLE ONLY) - SOSCleanroom Standard Specification
The Teknipure TKM355H TekniMop™ Carbon Fiber Telescoping Mop Handle is a lightweight, autoclavable 3-piece handle designed for extended-reach cleaning across Teknipure's carbon fiber mop-frame system. Adjustable from approximately 58" to 161.4" (147 to 410 cm), the TKM355H provides up to 13.5 ft of handle reach for cleanroom walls, ceilings, overhead surfaces, floors, and difficult-to-access areas while maintaining the low weight and rigidity of carbon fiber construction.
Extended reach without traditional hardware weight: At approximately 1.05 lb (475 g), the TKM355H extends to 13.5 ft while remaining lightweight for its reach. Its three-piece telescoping design makes it particularly useful for high walls, ceilings, overhead surfaces, and other areas where additional reach is required without introducing heavy stainless steel hardware.

Where the TKM355H Fits in Controlled Environments
The TKM355H is designed for applications requiring substantially more reach than a conventional mop handle can provide. Its 58" to 161.4" telescoping range allows the same handle to be shortened for routine cleaning or extended to reach high walls, ceilings, overhead surfaces, and other difficult-to-access areas.
Teknipure specifies its telescoping carbon fiber handles as interchangeable across the carbon fiber frame system. The TKM355H can therefore be paired with compact TKM27 and TKM47 frames for targeted elevated or confined-area cleaning, or with TKM415 and TKM815 frames for broader wall, ceiling, and large-surface applications.
Typical program fit: High-wall cleaning, ceiling cleaning, overhead surfaces, cleanroom floors, difficult-to-access areas, precleaning before disinfectant application, residue removal, application of disinfectants and sanitizers, spill control, and general controlled-environment cleaning.
Handle selection should be based on required reach, frame size, surface orientation, operator ergonomics, facility SOPs, and the cleaning procedure being performed. The handle does not determine mop-cover compatibility; mop covers should be selected according to the chosen frame.
About the Manufacturer:
Teknipure develops contamination-control products for cleanrooms and other critical and controlled environments. The TekniMop™ platform combines lightweight carbon fiber frames and handles with application-specific mop covers to create configurable systems for pharmaceutical and biologics manufacturing, medical device production, optics, semiconductor and microelectronics manufacturing, aerospace and defense, compounding pharmacies, laboratories, and other controlled environments.
Teknipure's carbon fiber handle family provides multiple telescoping reach ranges while maintaining compatibility across the company's carbon fiber mop frames. This modular platform allows facilities to configure cleaning tools for equipment, floors, walls, ceilings, isolators, confined areas, and other controlled-environment surfaces.

TKM355H Benefits:
- Extended cleaning reach: The 58"–161.4" telescoping range provides up to 13.5 ft of handle length for high walls, ceilings, overhead surfaces, and difficult-to-access areas.
- Low weight for its reach: At approximately 1.05 lb (475 g), carbon fiber construction helps limit the hardware weight operators must control during extended and overhead cleaning.
- Adjustable working length: The three-piece telescoping design allows operators to use only the reach required for the task rather than working with a permanently extended tool.
- Reduced need for elevated access: Extended reach can allow operators to clean elevated surfaces from floor level where the surface height and facility procedure permit.
- Broad frame compatibility: The TKM355H works with Teknipure's small-surface and large-surface carbon fiber frames, allowing the same handle to support multiple cleaning configurations.
- Controlled extension: The "STOP" marking identifies the maximum extension position to help maintain appropriate handle rigidity and control.
- Organized storage: The integrated hanging hole allows the handle to be suspended between uses, helping keep reusable hardware away from floors and work surfaces.
- Reusable cleanroom hardware: Autoclavable construction supports facilities that incorporate steam sterilization of reusable cleaning hardware into validated procedures.
Common Applications:
- Cleanroom ceiling cleaning
- High-wall cleaning
- Overhead surface cleaning
- Cleanroom floor cleaning
- Reaching confined and difficult-to-access areas
- Equipment and facility surfaces requiring extended reach
- Precleaning before disinfectant application
- Application of disinfectants and sanitizers
- Residue removal
- Spill control
- General cleaning of large controlled-environment areas
Best-Practice Use:
- Select the appropriate frame: Choose the TekniMop™ frame according to surface size, access requirements, maneuverability, and the cleaning procedure.
- Use only the reach required: Extend the handle only as far as necessary for the target surface to help maintain rigidity, balance, and operator control.
- Observe the extension limit: Do not extend the telescoping sections beyond the manufacturer's "STOP" marking.
- Maintain ergonomic positioning: Adjust the handle length and operator position to reduce unnecessary reaching, bending, or awkward shoulder and wrist positions.
- Use controlled overhead movements: When cleaning ceilings or elevated surfaces, maintain deliberate strokes and avoid excessive force that can reduce frame control at extended lengths.
- Match the frame to the task: Smaller frames can improve maneuverability at extended reach, while larger frames provide greater surface coverage where appropriate.
- Use the hanging feature: Store the handle suspended by the integrated hanging hole when appropriate to help minimize floor contact and recontamination.
- Inspect before use: Check the telescoping sections, locking points, connection hardware, and carbon fiber surfaces for damage before cleaning.
- Follow validated reprocessing procedures: When autoclaving the handle, follow the cycle and handling procedure established by the facility and applicable manufacturer guidance.

Building a TKM355H TekniMop™ System
The TKM355H is the extended-reach handle component of a modular TekniMop™ cleaning system. A complete working configuration requires a compatible carbon fiber frame and a mop cover selected for that frame and the intended cleaning procedure.
Configuration example:
TKM355H Carbon Fiber Handle + Compatible TekniMop™ Carbon Fiber Frame + Frame-Compatible TekniMop™ Mop Cover
Choose the frame according to the size, geometry, and accessibility of the target surface, then select the mop cover according to cleaning chemistry, absorbency, contamination-removal requirements, sterility requirements, and facility SOP.
Workflow note: Mop-cover compatibility is determined by the selected frame, not by the handle. The TKM355H supports both TekniMop™ small-surface and large-surface carbon fiber frames, allowing the same extended-reach handle to be configured for different cleaning areas and surface geometries.
