A system for positioning rod-shaped objects, comprising: - a foot part for holding a rod-shaped object vertically, - an erecting device for raising the rod-shaped object from a horizontal position to a vertical position, - a holder, which can be secured to the rod-shaped object, configured to secure the erecting device to the rod-shaped object, the foot part comprising: - a base frame for positioning the foot part on the ground, wherein the base frame is configured to receive weights, - a base plate which is arranged above the base frame, wherein the base plate can be tilted by an angle of at least 90° relative to the base frame, - a device for cushioning a tilting process of the base plate with respect to the base frame, - a receiving part for receiving an end section of the rod-shaped object, wherein the receiving part is connected to the base plate, configured to receive the rod-shaped object in a horizontal position, when the base plate is tilted by an angle of at least 90° relative to the base frame, the receiving part comprising: - a receiving section which is in the form of truncated cone, - a wedge system for holding the rod-shaped object, the wedge system comprising a plurality of curved wedges, wherein the curved wedges are arranged inside the receiving section, the curved wedges are mounted pivotably about pivot axes, configured, when introducing the rod-shaped object into the receiving section, to enter into a crimping connection with the rod-shaped object, the wedge system comprises kinematic means, wherein the kinematic means is configured such that, when the rod-shaped object is not inserted, the curved wedges are held above truncated cone-shaped receiving section, in order to hold the wedge system open, the erecting device comprising: - a receiving cart for receiving the rod-shaped object in a horizontal position, wherein the receiving cart is mounted on wheels, - a pressure arm, which is pivotably coupled to the receiving cart about an axis by means of a joint, the joint comprising a joint lock for securing the pressure arm in a respective position, the holder comprising: - a collar with two half shells, configured to be applied to the rod-shaped object, - the pressure arm comprises a connecting device, configured to connect the pressure arm and the holder to one another by means of a positive, movable and releasable connection, - the foot part comprises a towing device, configured to pull the receiving cart with the rod-shaped object in a horizontal position in the direction of the foot part, further configured to pull the rod-shaped object into the receiving section of the base plate tilted by at least 90° and further configured to move the rod-shaped object together with the base plate from a horizontal position to a vertical position by means of the pressure arm. -
