This is the first time that I've ever seen a gin pole with an elevator though (not a bad idea). Also, it's unusual to remove one antenna before the replacement antenna is on site. Typically you would want the replacement antenna to be on site, electrically verified (to catch any problems that could have arisen during transportation), and rigged ready to be lifted, before removing the old antenna.
