Indian workers devise an excellent hack to erect a heavy concrete pole
- 4 years ago
A group of workers in India devised an excellent hack to erect a heavy concrete electric pole weighing almost 150kg.
The men held the pole, which measured at least 8 metres, with the support of a rope tied to both ends, while another man propped a bamboo pole in the centre of the concrete pole.
The bamboo pole allowed for the men doing the lifting to briefly pause at points, then heave together to move the concrete pole into place.
The workers also chanted a local slogan to keep themselves motivated.
The filmer Manas Kumar Behera said: “I was taken aback by their spirit and immediately decided to capture the incident to give me an inspiration whenever I will feel low.”
“This is not an easy task as it involves risking of lives more than their spirit and I salute them for doing this incredible job.”
The video was filmed on 12 December 2019.
