253330 Ed Minch <ruby@m...> 2015‑01‑31 Re: Lifting heavy things - clarification
We had to move a freshly cast 8300 pound keel for a sailboat and used one of
those trucks that carries septic tanks.  A beam with a trolley about 6-7 feet
above the bed and extending out the back.

Two of us had to sit on the front bumper to keep the front of the truck on the
ground while it started the lift.
