Application
The device is used to lift and transport poles for short distances without
contamination of hands and protective clothing with free creosote on the surface

supported on a straight wooden handle. The effective opening of the hooks is

Remarks
One grab is used at each end of a pole and where necessary, in the centre also.

must first be freed from its neighbours by a crowbar before the tool can be
placed into position.
