ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for manipulating a pole relative to a base fixed in the ground. The base is gripped and provides a rigid reference point. The pole is cradled and an actuator provides force to move the pole relative to the reference point. This can include detaching the pole from the base as well as inserting the pole on the base. As an optional feature, a pivot mechanism can be associated with the combination to allow the pole to be pivoted with respect to the base to lower the pole for inspection and maintenance, or to erect the pole to be vertically aligned and then seated onto the base.
