All these tracked lifts and cranes are so cool. Meanwhile, I spent all day climbing up and down a hillside all day winching brush. Not exactly the glory work!

Pouring rain the whole time of course. Must be a nice gig Dillion has sitting in his heated and A/C’d glass cab..

*Dillions actually one of my best friends if you can’t tell, real piece of shit that guy.

Dan , what type of rigging slings are hanging from the hook of the track crane the climber is setting? Round slings and a shackle?

I figured out how to double line speed with a pulley the other day…

Unfortunately, doubling the line speed usually involves pulling harder.

Whatever gets it done! I prefer to keep my overhead low and do it like you, at least for now.

Exactly that yes, it’s foolproof. I prefer rope slings but at a larger company like this with a language barrier between myself and some of the climbers I use the slings that I don’t have to explain how to use. I also have a set of chain slings that I sometimes like to throw on.

I feel you there. I sub out with my truck frequently and have encountered that issue myself.
