Abstract
A stripping station which is used for stripping a mold from a cast concrete lamp pole has a mold that has an axial compressive load placed thereon by a tension force applied to tension members running through the mold. The tension members are secured to anchors located at one end of the mold. A stripping fixture attached to the anchors exerts a tension force sufficient to relieve the axial compressive load on the mold and transfers the axial load to the frame of the stripping machine. This allows the mold to be removed. The axial compression load is transferred to the pole after the mold is stripped.
