ABSTRACT

A system is disclosed which provides the ability to install a cross arm on a
power pole utilizing an electrically isolated bucket which is free of all
hydraulic components used by an operator in the bucket to manipulate the
bucket. The system also utilizes an in-the-bucket rechargeable battery powered
electric tool such as a saw, drill etc. without a need for a hydraulic
electric generator in the bucket. The system includes the ability to provide
communication to and from and to supply electrical power to remote portions of
an electrically isolated boom, by transmitting optical power and control
signals through an electrically non-conductive optical fiber.
