^^^ Speaking of a lot of practice ....
I took a trailer load of metal to a scrap yard a few months back. First time I'd done that, so I wasn't sure of the process. Pulled into an area and the operator told me to turn around and back in. Umm ... I'm not sure I can do that. Somehow, I managed to, but I still wasn't sure what to expect.
Operator climbs up into a massive crane type thing with a grapple hanging at the end of a long cable. Think of those claw and toy machines in restaurant lobbies, but more like 80' feet tall or more. Swings it around and drops it down to a couple of feet over my little toy Harbor Freight type 4 x 8 trailer, then comes down the rest of the way, closes the claw around the load and lifts it off and away. He did that about five or six times and never touched the trailer deck itself.
This guy's probably over a hundred feet away and picking up stuff easier than I loaded it.
