Default Opener for High Window

I've googled many variations on window opener but can't find what I
want. I though maybe someone in this group may know where to get what
I want.

We have two high windows in my wife's greenhouse. They're 3 feet high
and 2 feet wide, aluminum frame and polycarbonate, very light, hinged
on top so that they swing out. I'd like to get openers so that she can
reach up with a pole and open them.

We have used the heat operated openers but those tend to wear out
after a while and never seem to close completely. Home Depot sells
casement window openers but those only have short handles so we'd have
to climb a ladder to work them. And the electric ones, although they
would be nice to have, cost hundreds of dollars.

From my googling, it seems that most pole operated openers are sold in
the U.K. and I'm in the U.S. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Do these open via a crank? If so, I know when I was
looking at skylights long time ago, Velux had a battery
operated pole device to turn the crank on their skylights.
I elected to go with the electric openers because I
figured with the pole I'd still probably rarely actually
open them.
