3.3.1 METHODS TO RAISE THE MAST

Lifting and raising the mast in position can be done in several ways and is much depending on local cir-
cumstances. The space can be limited, the mast can be split in sections and the height of the mast is dif-
ferent from one site to another.
However, one of the most common ways to raise the mast is to use a chain block hoist, attached to a
hook in the ceiling and slings around the mast-screw. If the mast is divided in several sections –start with
the lowest section.
If there is no possibility to use a hook in the ceiling alternative methods could be to use:
• Lifting Gantry, to attach the chain block hoist.
• Trailer lift. Elevating Work Platform.
• Scaffolding.
