Pole pikes have a spike on the end of them that you stuck in the side of a pole to move it and hold it straight until you get it tamped in. Most all trucks have pole claws to hold the poles now but you can't always use the truck and when using a crane we use them to push the pole against the side of the boom so you can use the crane to straighten the pole.
