A lattice type transmission tower leveling device for leveling a transmission tower with respect to a ground surface. The tower leveling device includes a series of side supports positioned at first and second sides of the transmission tower. The leveling device also includes a support beam that is secured to a third side of a transmission tower that is leaning and a second support beam that is secured to a fourth side of the transmission tower opposite the third side. The device further includes a series of brace members that are interconnected to form a lattice brace structure. The lattice brace structure is coupled to the upright members of the transmission tower. The tower leveling device also includes a lift beam secured to the side supports of the tower and a series of hydraulic cylinders that extend from the lift beam to the first support beam. Linear movement of the cylinders causes the transmission tower to rotate about the axis of rotation so that the tower can be leveled and new tower base supports can be installed.
