You have gotten some attention now! When you can show us HOW you use that. There's angles and dangles there that I can't yet parse out. (y)

Yep...things can seem simple and all of a sudden they are not. Treework is certainly way up on that list. Shat can go south real quick.

This is where we did some diving under a temporary bridge that the excavator put in place. The white pipes are where we found voids and they pumped crete down thru the pipes. The water flow was going to be so high they had to concrete it all together. The dry guys pumped the concrete from...

Roger that on welcome...thanks for jumping in. I am loving what you posted...cool stuff moving rocks like that. I was part of a commercial diving project in Columbus, GA...we were making a whitewater venue in the Chattahoochee River. You moving rocks like that is part of what we did. The...

:lol:it was a consideration. He did the math and decided the trailer could handle it...a big "whew" at the time

Thanks but that was probably the 3rd time I have used a crane...huge lots I don't know about them. Alex gets props for ciphering that solution...he pulled our butts out of a mess with that trailer.

Good info...knew the box, not the incline or slide. My first exposure to cribbing was with First Responder training...taught to use it to stabilize overturned vehicles before entering for extrication. Here's where we used box cribbing to salvage a crane operation that got squirrely. Crane put...

You load anything bigger than a lawn mower and I'll be impressed.:D

At least it didn't kill me! :lol:

OK...it's about time to add something I had forgotten about (thankfully!). But I am tabling my shame and posting this anyway. It's actually about rigging...the first part is...well...not. Just bear with the stick tossing stuff...it was part of a discussion at the time somehow. Terrible...

Snagged 'em...downloaded and tucked away. Thanks!

I just read this stuff and smile...:)

That is pucker factor. Incredible feat. A windy day would be most troubling for me. The net...looks like it actually caught some stuff.:lol:

Seeing the real world application of picking up those huge logs is encouraging...and daunting. Pretty audacious to make a rig like that and have it work so well.

Kyle, these are fascinating posts. It'll take me several semesters to begin working my brain around some of this. Thanks for taking the time to put that together...you are a good presenter. I look forward to your thread when you build one of these at your place.

Good info. I got exposed to that stake and rope picket system in the US Army Field Manual titled "Mountain Operations". Also learned the "Z" drag there...they called it a transport tightening system...had a great picture of moving a jeep over a chasm with ropes.

:thumbup: Good show there.

Not too long...good video. Awesome craft.

Welcome to the House, Kite...good thread to emerge upon.

:lol: Just do it!!
