Hydraulic pole puller used to remove utility poles from ground for replacement.

What is sometimes a little known fact is that digger derrick trucks are not designed to pull poles with their pole claws. We get calls every day from customers looking to replace a bent or broken pole claw arms or weldments and its almost always because the hooked a pole with the claws and tried to pull it out of the ground. The pole claws on digger derricks are designed to hold the pole in place during instalation only and not pulling. These Fairmont pole pullers are what you need to do the work of pulling the pole out of the ground.

Due to the design of these units over the years companies have used them for other uses such as lifting rail road cars to replace the wheels when worn out and about anything else you can think of but their primary use is for pulling utility poles.
