To safely move a gin pole up a level takes some coordination... and preferably another rope and pulley. If you are manually carrying it up to the top of the new section you proceed like this: 1. loos

Rusty, My gin pole is rigged so I can transfer the rope and pulley between the tower and the top of the gin pole. That lets my ground crew use a single rope for all lifting, both tower sections and t

Well Rusty, you got to do a little 'inventing' First, when the tower section is set and you are ready to move to the next section, you tie a large knot, like a bow-tie, in the pull rope about 5' belo

I can't imagine a pole without two clamps. I built my own *with* two clamps which makes it very easy to move up to the next section. I also have an extra long pole which makes it easier to lift long

It sounds like you're not collapsing the gin pole (bringing the head down to the clamp) when you are trying to move it. That definitely makes it much harder to attach the clamp. I tried it a couple o

The safest way for ME to move the gin pole is to holler up from the ground and tell the crew what to do. Then when it's all over and everyone is safe on the ground, hand them all a cold one:-) Sorry,

Ive done it this way for over 40 years: With the pole down and the rope knotted as already mentioned I tie the clamp to another harness around my body (actually a shortened nylon boat strap these day

I'd probably do that with the standard Rohn gin pole or equivalent, but I used a heavy-duty gin pole from WB0B for my Rohn 55. It's a *lot* heavier than the Rohn gin pole. It might have worked to tie

I like the step where you clip the second pulley to the top of the section as it goes past. That eliminates climbing to rig it at the top of the next section. Wish I'd thought of that! ______________
