Abstract: A pole roller configured to prevent a hose from contacting a side surface point of entry in a pipeline or an obstacle. The pole roller includes a roller having an axis, a shaft opening and a pair of end walls, wherein the end walls include a top and bottom bearing end wall. Said roller, being rotatable about a stationary axle disposed at the axis of the roller. The shaft opening can include an optional crush sleeve disposed between a pair of roller bearings, the roller bearings being disposed at the top and bottom end walls respectively. A base frame having at least one pull-line finger, a protection wear ring and a plurality of base support feet, the pull-line fingers and the base support feet mounted to the protection wear ring. A pole attachment member mounted to the stationary axle for allowing an elongated pole to be attach thereon.

Abstract: A powered, portable device for pulling a hose such as a sewer hose into an access hole such as a sewer manhole. The device is sufficiently long to extend over the access hole and has a lateral support structure extending from the bottom of the device into the access hole to engage a side surface of the access hole to prevent the device from being pulled across the ground during operation. Upper and lower frame portions are connected by a hinge at one end of the device to allow the device to be opened up to install the hose into the device. With the hose installed the upper frame can be clamped down to the lower frame to engage the hose. The upper and lower frames have gripping elements, at least one of which is powered by a motor to rotate and pull the hose into the access hole.
