Boost Efficiency on Site with Autoguide’s Pole Grab Range – Backhoe & Crane Mounted Options

Handling poles safely and efficiently is a key challenge across utility, construction, and infrastructure projects. Whether you're working with timber poles, steel tubes, or concrete columns, having the right equipment can transform your workflow.

At Autoguide Equipment, we design and manufacture robust, UK-engineered solutions for pole handling – and our Pole Grab range is no exception. With both Backhoe Mounted and Crane Mounted Pole Grabs available, our products are built to save time, reduce manual handling, and keep your team safe on site.

What Is a Pole Grab?

A Pole Grab is a hydraulically operated attachment used to lift, transport, and precisely position poles or cylindrical materials. It securely clamps around the pole and, when used in conjunction with a backhoe, crane, or excavator, allows for fast and accurate placement – without the need for slings or extra hands on the ground.
