Great video 👍

Him being in shorts and sneakers he a Coach

Rig up two cables the correct length and you won't have to mess with those chains, at least that's how it's done on large bed trucks.

That's kinda a morfadite set up it just don't look good ...to easy to F .........up .get someone hurt I'd just put one of those round bale picker uppers on deck ..Bob's your uncle .

Outstanding good job more Education on truck poling thanks for the advice

Electric winch?

Good vidio sir

This guy has some serious football coach vibes

Never stand on the back of the truck period! I worked behind hydraulic powered gin trucks with 40 ton winch lines and drums. Just out your hooks were they belong and the dog chains were they belong. Death is standing between the cab and poles do not listen to this man !

Electric winch is not efficient and will not last. A mechanical PTO (chain drive) off the clutch or hydraulic PTO winch is the only way to go.

Are you having a death wish moment look where you are man,down to the side or possible 6 foot under.

Regarding the chain length, I just use wire rope and it's always set at one length, not adjustable.

Ditch the winch and just man handle the Jin poles into position they aren’t that heavy buddy

That’s kinda epic

Chain your poles to the skirt of the truck and there’s no reason you can’t drive with them up. Pay attention to where the power poles are. It’s called common sense.

Sorry but this is a shear leg or a-frame, not a gin pole which is a single pole with several guy lines. Look up the definitions.

1978 Met a guy, named Jim, with a Gin Pole truck and worked with him till I graduated from University, 2 years later. We called it Super Truck! Hauled Mesquite tree trunks to his sawmill, and sidewalk slabs for his interred 5/8ths Geodesic dome home. This is a good safety video. The explanation of the spare tire as a shock absorber was good. an old flat tire might have been used for illustration. Jim's winch was PTO driven. Seems like a cheap long pneumatic piston would work well to deploy and recover the poles. Heck, even a small manual hydraulic jack, set near either one of the base pivots, might do the job. Every high school should have one of these and the girls should be taught how to work with it. It is amazing how much work can be done with one of these Gin Pole Winch Trucks.

The contactor on the electric winch won't last long with all those intermediate clicks on your remote. A better idea is to have a locking link on the chains so you don't have to worry about the chains unhooking. You can then pole up fluidly and not wear out the contactor.
