Remove Lgt Pole

[Alwayslearningelec]

Being asked to remove this light pole which is about 25' and place it on ground about 50' away.
What piece of equipment would be best for this and how would one secure it to that equipment?
Thanks.

Are they planning to scrap it or reuse it?

The obvious answer is a small crane and whatever the crane operator wants to use (usually a nylon sling). Might need a bucket truck to attach the sling. If there's already a crane on-site, just ask them do do it.

Reuse.

So just a bucket truck couldn't remove and reinstall it?

I've certainly done so with a bucket truck.

Maybe on the bucket truck, depending on how much weight the boom can lift, person and pole

Boom fork and a half hitch.

Boom fork and a half hitch.

I've set hundreds of poles this way! Cheaper than bucket truck rates if your company doesn't have one.
