Abstract
A pole storage caddy system includes a pole storage caddy for storing a set of service poles, a pole assembly work station, a motorized monorail pole hoist and a detachable auxiliary personnel work platform, all mounted on a rail truck-mounted rigid frame. The hoist is used to convey the pole sections between the storage caddy and work station during assembly and to support the weight of the pole assembly for in-vessel work. The pole assembly work station includes a two-position slotted keyway plate, the first position providing lateral restraint during torquing operations and the second position providing vertical support during pole assembly.
