Hydraulic Puller Enables 1-Person Utility Pole Removal
The Tiiger Pole Puller from Huskie Tools combines rugged construction, secure hydraulic clamping, and an operator-centric design that emphasizes safety in the potentially hazardous process of utility-pole removal, Huskie says. “From reducing strain and injury risk to protecting trucks and property, Tiiger does the hard work safely and efficiently,” the company emphasizes. Tiiger works on wooden, steel, or concrete poles.
Tiiger enables one-person operation while eliminating hazards that come with older pole-removal methods, thanks to its “hydraulic clamp and smooth extraction to eliminate sudden movement, chain lashbacks, and manual strain,” according to Huskie. Workers’ shoulders, backs, and hands are protected, the company adds. “Tiiger replaces brute force with smart force. Hydraulic pressure and engineered leverage combine to lift poles cleanly. No heavy lifting, no wrestling with gear. It’s light enough to handle with ease, fast to set up, and intuitive for the whole crew to operate.”
The pole puller includes the following components and materials.
- High-strength steel components
- Half-inch alloy chain
- Non-slip faceplate
- Adjustable chain hooks and stainless steel chain bar
- 50,000 pounds of pulling force from a hydraulic cylinder
The tool’s controlled vertical pull eliminates the need for slings or chains. It also minimizes the risk of repetitive-motion injuries, along with pinch, strain, or crush injuries.
