My welder friend had some steel racks that he wanted to locate to a different location at his business. They would have to be hand unloaded unless we could pull the loaded racks out so a forklift could get to them. He estimated one rack in the 10000lbs range and the other at about 8000lbs. He asked me if the d4 could drag them out, hmmm 16000lbs dragging 10000lbs, maybe. After a quick consultation with my friend Bryon that has rigged all of my rescue cats he said I can rig that up and pull it out with a tricycle.
Well no tricycle but a dodge pickup worked just fine. After 2 hours we had both racks out and saved him what he thought would be a full day all hands on deck job. The d4 acted only as a deadman but I did get to do a little grading to clean up the parking lot. Other than a burger and fries we got fir lunch I told him maybe a head of the line privilege for some really important d2 part was good enough

Sorry about the multiple pictures, still haven't quite figured out the new website yet. Maybe someone smarter than me can delete the duplicates

What a mess

That's about as good as I'm going to be able to do, really missing the preview feature

thats cool--was that a 6 part line setup to move them?

Yes 6 lines 5 blocks, we had one more block with us but didn't think it would be needed. The pickup never even spun a tire. We have drug some pretty dead Cats around using this method and I'm always amazed when Bryon rigs things up.

very nice rigging!!
