ABSTRACT:
A tracked vehicle with a front blade for clearing roads and a rear mounted crane to set and rig a utility pole in remote locations. The front blade is configured with mounts to carry an auger. A cradle on the front blade and on an outrigger of the crane is used to transport a pole. The vehicle is configured to carry all necessary accessories to the site including a pole grapple, a collapsible personnel bucket, and a water supply for cutting and/or compacting the hole. The crane folds to a compact configuration behind the cab of the tracked vehicle and, when extended, can access poles up to 85 feet tall. The crane can be operated by remote control for safe operation near energized lines or when positioned on steep terrain. The crane can be removed from the vehicle in the field for unencumbered use of the tracked vehicle and blade.
