Lift & swing with the Holmes 750

[Orcas Tow]

I had a call of a loaded propane truck on a 8 percent grade off a private roadway stuck in soft planting mulch. Brought the 81 KW W900A/Holmes 750. Unpin booms, lift & swing the front back onto the road, then my Son in law winching for the finish to get it up back on the road.

The old girl getting it done. The only thing I would do different is don't "Reeve" the chain through the tow hooks. Better to make it in a V bridal.

I agree, after the start of the lift I thought the same thing altho it did work out in our favor this time as it lifted the truck up at a slant to match the ground slope. Next time I will rig separate loops.

Nice work, I too have concerns with how the chain is rigged thru the tow hooks. 

Those tight spaces are where these trucks and good operators shine! 

 

What model Zacklift?
