Abstract
The invention disclosed is a rotational hoisting device that is mounted into the top opening of a mast pole located on a cellular network tower. The hoisting device is connected to a third party block and tackle and hoist line that is connected to a piece of cellular network equipment such as an antenna or radio. The rotational hoisting device can rotate back and forth in the mast pole to achieve mounting of the cellular equipment on a particular position on the mast pole without ever having disconnect the cellular equipment from the hoist lie.
Claims7
A rotational hoisting device, comprising;
- a pole having an upper portion and a lower portion whereby the upper portion is separated from the lower portion by a collar;
- a head having a hollow cylindrical main body that is adapted to be inserted over and on top of the upper portion of the pole and whereby the lower portion of the pole is insertable into a mast pole located on a cellular tower such that the collar comes to rest on a top edge of the mast pole;
- and
- a removable block attachable to the head such that a hoist line can be inserted into the block for hoisting an item of cellular tower equipment to the top of the cellular tower for mounting.
A method for hoisting and mounting a cellular component onto the top of a cellular comprising the steps of:
- providing a rotational hoist device further comprising a pole having an upper portion and a lower portion whereby the upper portion is separated from the lower portion by a collar;
- a head having a hollow cylindrical main body that is adapted to be inserted over and on top of the upper portion of the pole and whereby the lower portion of the pole is insertable into a mast pole located on a cellular tower such that the collar comes to rest on the top edge of the mast pole;
- and a removable block attachable to the head such that a hoist line can be inserted into the block for hoisting an item of a cellular tower equipment to the top of the cellular tower for mounting;
- installing a block between two vertical parallel plates located and installing a hoist line into the block and dropping said hoist line down to the ground for attachment to a piece of cellular equipment;
- installing said rotational hoist device into the top of a mast pole located at the top of the cellular tower;
- connecting the tag end of the hoist line to a winch and winching the piece or equipment upwards to the top of the cellular tower;
- hoisting the equipment to an appropriate level adjacent to the mast pole;
- rotating the rotational hoist device around the mast pole to a desired position;
- and
- mounting the cellular equipment to a desired position on the mast pole.
