ABSTRACT:
A piling alignment system having a pile setter and a quick release shackle for aligning interlocking edges of a set piling and a suspended piling which is being positioned for setting. The setter has an upper lip portion adapted to abut the bottom portion of a suspended piling and means for rigidly connecting the setter to the piling. The setter, when mounted onto the suspended piling, has a vertical groove in alignment with the surface of the female interlocking edge of the suspended piling. Prongs are mounted at the sides of the groove at a lower portion thereof and extend outwardly with a space therebetween for guiding the setter vertical groove into alignment with the male interlocking edge of the set piling so that the suspended piling can be lowered into interlocking relationship with the set piling. A quick release shackle has two vertically extending flanges adapted to receive the upper portion of a piling therebetween. A pin extends through an aperture in the two flanges and engages the piling through an aperture extending therethrough. A lever extending from the flange is operably connected to the pin through a coupling mechanism. A lanyard is connected to the end of the lever and is operable from the ground level. The pin disengages from the piling when the lanyard is pulled.
