All variations of these excavator and skid steer pole setters and attachments are equipped with a universal quick-attach adapter. They can also be modified to fit different models of skid steers, tractors, excavators and telehandlers. Choose from a double-cylinder rotating base pole setter or a fixed non-rotating base pole setter.
Each of our options are designed with two jaws that open and close independently, offering the operator a significant increase in safety and pole-handling security. Each jaw is also equipped with a rubber lining to protect the pole. The clamping is activated by two 2” X 6” cylinders and can be adjusted to regulate clamp pressure. Allof our excavator pole setters are delivered complete with wiring harnesses, spring hose mounts, and flush-faced couplers. The jaws open to 14 inches and close to three inches. Optional inserts are available to close the jaws down to 0 inches. Our excavator pole setter attachments can handle metal, wood, or plastic poles.
Overall, our pole setters are a valuable tool for construction crews, utility companies, and farmers, as they can help to save time and reduce the risk of injury associated with manual pole-setting methods. Contact us today with any questions or order your pole setter online today.
