Abstract: An angle-indicating tube bender apparatus, system, and method is disclosed. Namely, the presently disclosed subject matter provides a tube bender comprising an angle indicator device that is used to measure and indicate the angle of the tube during the bending process. The angle indicator device can be, for example, a digital protractor, digital angle gauge, or digital angle locator. Further, the tube bender may comprise laser technology that is used to project guiding lines or markers from the bender head for guiding the user. In one example, the guiding lines or markers are projected in a crosshair beam pattern that can be used to ensure the accuracy of one bend with respect to another bend.

Abstract: The invention provides a pole lifting apparatus. The pole lifting apparatus including a base section having a base plate; one or more mast sections connected to the base section and extendable in an axial manner therewith, wherein an uppermost mast section of the one or more mast sections comprises a pulley mounted at its uppermost end; and a hoist secured to the base section and having a wire rope operably associated with the one or more mast sections and pulley for use in a pole lifting operation.

Abstract: A pole carrying device and method of using the pole carrying device is disclosed, wherein the pole carrying device is designed to carry and maneuver poles or pipes in a safe and easily controlled manner. In one example, the pole carrying device comprises a main beam that is supported by a wheel assembly, wherein the wheel assembly comprises two wheels. Further, two cradles are mounted atop the main beam (e.g., one at each end) for holding the poles or pipes. The method of using the pole carrying device includes, but is not limited to, the steps of providing the pole carrying device in an at rest position, placing the poles or pipes atop the pole carrying device, and rolling the pole carrying device along the ground and thereby transporting the poles or pipes.
