• Issues:
• 1-How to keep light pole base forms safely
secured during and after pour?
• 2-How to pour safely without standing on
top of a ladder?

tall forms?
ANSWER
Light pole base safety tower. Five foot tall by 48” manhole base.
Flat slap top. (Obviously don’t put a block out in it). Safety railing.
Steps. Chains for securing forms.
Chain securing 8’ tall form.
This particular tower can secure five 24” diameter forms.
Eye bolts and chain connections.
Larger footing area compared to top of ladder. Increased efficiency
in pour times due to not having to reposition ladder for every form.
Simply just move in a circle.
Quick adjustment to second form.
Ability to see down into form and pour to proper height. Also safer
now for QC technician to do pre and post pour inspections.
Double checking pour level.
Thumbs Up!!! Happy, Safe, Efficient, and Correct!
Basic birds eye view.
