Grab John pole planting buckets

The Grab John method for mechanized pole planting is the modern and rational way of constructing overhead line systems.

Mechanized coupling of tools and poles. All coupling manoeuvres are performed hydraulically from the operator's cab.

Efficient handling, giving a productivity increase of 15-50 % compared to convential methods.

Increased safety and controlled lifts, no manual coupling of straps and chains.

Improved end result due to effective refilling and packing at the pole base.

Grab John poleplanting buckets are available in three models for backhoe loaders and or excavators. The buckets are called GJ-1A, GJ 15 and GJ-5. GJ-1A is the smaller model suitable for wooden poles up to 12-13 m. GJ-15 is bigger and perfect for handling of rigged electricity poles up to ca 15-16 m. GJ-15 has a higher poleerecting capacity of ca 65% compared to GJ-1A. GJ-5 is even bigger and perfect for handling of rigged electricity poles up to about 22 m.
