Abstract
A method of ground anchoring a plurality of posts (11), especially to erect a fence or barrier. The method includes anchoring a first plurality of posts (11) into the ground, preferably simultaneously, using a plurality of post anchoring stations (50) located on at least one movable platform (10) that can be moved along a path, and then anchoring a second plurality of posts (11), again preferably simultaneously, into the ground using the plurality of post anchoring stations (50). In preferred forms there are a plurality of movable platforms which may be mechanically and/or wireless linked.
Claims16
A method of ground anchoring a plurality of posts, the method comprising:
- anchoring a first plurality of posts into the ground using a plurality of post anchoring stations, the post anchoring stations being located on at least two movable platforms;
- moving the at least two movable platforms along a predetermined path;
- and
- anchoring a second plurality of posts into the ground using the plurality of post anchoring stations, wherein:
- the at least two movable platforms are operatively connected and aligned along the predetermined path;
- of the at least two operatively connected movable platforms an interconnected movable platform is articulated with respect to the other movable platform or platforms;
- and
- each of the at least two movable platforms is a towed trailer.
A method of erecting a fence, the method comprising:
- anchoring a first plurality of posts into the ground using a plurality of post anchoring stations, the post anchoring stations being located on at least two movable platforms;
- moving the at least two movable platforms along a predetermined fence line;
- anchoring a second plurality of posts into the ground using the plurality of post anchoring stations;
- laying out at least one length of barrier material adjacent the first plurality of posts and adjacent the second plurality of posts, and straining the at least one length of barrier material;
- and
- attaching the at least one length of barrier material to the first plurality of posts and the second plurality of posts, wherein:
- the at least two movable platforms are operatively connected and aligned along the predetermined fence line;
- of the at least two operatively connected movable platforms an interconnected movable platform is articulated with respect to the other movable platform or platforms;
- and
- each of the at least two movable platforms is a towed trailer.
A multi vehicle train that is used to anchor posts, the multi vehicle train comprising:
- a plurality of operatively connected movable platforms;
- and
- a plurality of post anchoring stations, each post anchoring station comprising a post anchoring mechanism,
- wherein:
- the plurality of post anchoring stations is located on at least two of the plurality of movable platforms;
- the plurality of movable platforms is configured to be aligned along a predetermined path;
- of the operatively connected plurality of movable platforms an interconnected movable platform is articulated with respect to other movable platforms;
- and
