A gin pole is a type of lifting device used in construction and rigging applications. It typically consists of a tall, slender structure (the pole) that is used to lift heavy loads, such as antennas, towers, or other equipment. The gin pole is often used in conjunction with a pulley system, ropes, and a winch to increase mechanical advantage and enable safe lifting of heavy objects to significant heights.
