Utility tower lifting apparatus and method
An electrical or communication transmission tower lifting device for elevating an upper portion of the electrical transmission tower with respect to a lower portion of the tower from a first elevation to a second elevation, the lifting device comprising: a lower lifting structure, having a plurality of mounts to allow the lower lifting structure to be releasably secured to the lower portion of the tower a distance from the foundation of the tower, the lower lifting structure including a series of lower support members that are interconnected to form the lower lifting structure; an upper lifting structure, that is positioned above and associated with the lower lifting structure, the upper lifting structure having a plurality of mounts to allow the upper lifting structure to be releasably secured to the upper portion of the tower, the upper lifting structure including a series of upper support members that are interconnected to form the upper lifting structure; a lifting cylinder that is adapted to be coupled to one of the lower or upper lifting structures, the lifting cylinder configured to assist in moving the upper lifting structure away from the lower lifting structure to raise the upper portion of the tower to the second elevation; and a controller that is configured to control the movement of the lifting cylinder to raise the upper portion of the tower.
