Abstract: A lattice type transmission tower leveling device for leveling a transmission tower with respect to a ground surface. The tower leveling device includes a series of side supports positioned at first and second sides of the transmission tower. The leveling device also includes a support beam that is secured to a third side of a transmission tower that is leaning and a second support beam that is secured to a fourth side of the transmission tower opposite the third side. The device further includes a series of brace members that are interconnected to form a lattice brace structure. The lattice brace structure is coupled to the upright members of the transmission tower. The tower leveling device also includes a lift beam secured to the side supports of the tower and a series of hydraulic cylinders that extend from the lift beam to the first support beam.
