# Pole pulling device and method of operating thereof

## Abstract

Examples herein generally relate to a pole pulling device and a method of operating thereof. The pole pulling device includes a support frame; a clamping mechanism coupled to the support frame, and comprising at least two clamp members for engaging an elongate pole, wherein the clamping mechanism is operable to move between an expanded position to receive the pole, and a contracted position to securely engage the pole; and a ramming mechanism coupled to the support frame, and comprising at least one ramming assembly, wherein after the clamping mechanism engages the pole, the ramming mechanism is operable to translate from a retracted state to an expanded state to apply axial force to extract the pole from a surface.
