How bout my loads ?? once its bottom out there is no weight limit right ?? I must admit I hold back on the first picture, there was some room left and yes I strap it and put the chainsaw away before leaving, the pictures have been taken before I did...

I cracked the frame on a 1985 Ford Ranger hauling horse manure... presumably when I put blocks between that and the axle to keep the springs from breaking.

bcp and others, find any videos of them removing the truck and trailer from the bridge? I've seen one removing the driver, but did they rig a hand rope to lower rescuer and then raise them both by hand power? Jon

yes rope rescue is done by hoisting by hand but they have a 3:1 or 5:1 mechanical advantage. In the video you can see them in the right corner pulling on the rope.

rock, that's what caught my eye. Looking like they were pulling on a rope. Thanks, Jon

From the video BCP shared I can confirm they where using two independent rope system one for each person my guess is 3:1. Probably using a setup like the illustration below which is called MPD (multipurpose device) which has a one way pully and built in friction brake. For rope rescue pulling by hand is the choice because of lift or descend accuracy, communications, controllability, dependability and versality. Every rescue need to have a fail safe (two rope on each person) with a mechanize system it would be a lot of gear. Their setup looks on par with ours.

Thank you for the explanation, pictures and diagrams. When the question was first asked I envisioned somebody sneezing, then saying "oops" as the rope went screaming through his hands.
