EP10: TRIPOD CHAIN HOIST: How to lift heavy objects

Hopefully, some of you can find this useful. The ability to lift heavy objects with three poles and a hoist can come in very handy in a variety of situations.

I also recommend a strap.

Tripod is a genius idea! 😉👍 Very happy that Timber Tuesdays are back! Peace

[@aaronvallejo8220]

This is how I hoist move, load and unload huge boulders into my little truck after they tumble down the mountain onto the logging/fishing roads. I use a logging grapple to pinch the boulders. Works great!

[@mikeduda3173]

glad to see you back. it's been a long time

[@shaunkroschel]

That’s a pretty sweet hoist setup! Always enjoy your videos, good stuff!🙂🌲

[@reneacevedo87]

Good video my friend good work you guys go there together God bless

[@careenaalexis]

Genius idea!

[@YasmineAndHenrik]

Hey man! Love your videos, it’s been awesome to see someone else also putting effort in production value ❤️‍🔥 And thanks for the headpiece idea how to get some control with the hair 😂

[@drchilapastrosodrlasmacas438]

Amazing. This is how the Coral Castle was built by one man. The other part, was the magic

[@amshaikot5842]

Big thought 😎

[@zacharywarner1678]

Awesome, im using it as well. Great video thanx

[@asya9493]

It would be safer to have the chain above the block looped over the three legs, that way everything is in compression. With the block hanging off the rope you have introduced a tension element ie the rope can break.

[@werper09]

Yup, just made one to move some boulders and did exactly this.

[@schmingusss]

What block?

[@BobPeterson-rw9yw]

@@schmingusss the block is the pulley system of the chain hoist. Think of block and tackle.

[@bearsagainstevil]

just watched the earthquake in Turkey and I have manuals used in ww2 by a relative who did heavy rescue in the blitz, and it was mainly things like this. hand tools hoists boy scout stuff really

[@chrislott3887]

Thanks, that gives me an idea to save some money !

[@adventurepawsdogtraining436]

Great video thank you. What are the horizontal timbers attached between two trees in the background used for? They’re above head height.. curious me. Thank you

[@ahmetkarakoyunlu4125]

Videoynuz uzun olsun belki televizyonda izleriz.

[@smoochmcguire5291]

Great video thanks

[@bobbydelcavallo7181]

Awesome 😻😻😻🥳🥳🥳

[@katma136]

So cool!!

[@leapinglemurcraftworks6426]

“Block and Tackle” - sort off. That’s going to make your life so much easier

[@Ivanskrakow]

That si what i thought , toooo wide, wrong angle, but good idea. I am going to rig a cable between the tree’s and use a snatch block

[@TrustinTimber]

Yeah, good idea. I’m doing vertical posts so I needed something I could centre and hold steady, but I think I’ll rig something like you described for some of the higher horizontal pieces.

[@irrationallyamoral7619]

how did you move the tripod after the log was hoisted? you walked the tripod one leg at a time after moving and placing the log down?

[@TrustinTimber]

I get the tripod in the right position before I hoist the log up.

[@deanmacka4975]

Stuff me stubbie mate, you guy's are gonna get so much flack from the hard hat lol it's coming along guy's. How's the bugs going there ? We had alot last summer here in Australia well I did here . Great stuff guys

[@TrustinTimber]

Yeah, black flies just arrived in full force and I think mosquitos are starting to appear as well. They usually stick around for a month or so.

[@davidlange7916]

@@TrustinTimber I posted a comment for you just 15 min ago Please look at my you tube log cabin building-step by step laying up the logs and the log cabin building-tour My logs were much heavier then yours and my crane would really help you Feel free to contact me if you have a question dave

[@TrustinTimber]

@@davidlange7916 Hi David, I watched you video. Great minds think alike. I had actually designed something similar for a crane. I talk about it in my cabin model video. I was going to make it but I though I would try this first. It looks a bit sketchy here on my first trial run but it’s been working pretty well for me. I’m building post and beam so my fill logs won’t be very heavy as yours.

[@Warp9pnt9]

I'd probably have used some sort of stake, stakes, or stakes and a brace, to keep the legs from slipping out. Getting by with no brace depends heavily upon a specific soil type, moisture, compactness, rockiness, and level slope, etc., and a good deal of luck. A more general solution would involve various types of bracing. Even a quick and dirty solution, like a 3-4" branch brace and a 1.5-2" stake on either side. Not complex. Spend 5 minutes on safety to avoid or reduce the risk of a possibly fatal, disabling, or costly accident, to me, that's worth 5 minutes every time.

[@josephottey1890]

Make the bottom of the beams pointed?

[@dragaumchineis5070]

Bom dia, Flor do dia!

[@michaelanderson1788]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@paulobernardi-ng2eu]

Trustin veja, para vc erguer as Madeiras dos cantos e do Telhado vc vai precisar de Catracas Provavelmente Maiores e prende--las nas Árvores ao Lado da CABIN para aciona--las Erguendo as Madeiras! Também acredito que vai precisar de pelo menos uma pessoa com muita Experiência em Madeiras para ajuda-lo nesse trabalho!

[@TrustinTimber]

Read your comment a little too late. Oops. Did it myself with a bigger tripod. :)

[@VerasakSahachaisaree]

Good, its what I LOOKING FOR. Nobody help me. They want to watch netflix, no help.

[@igorm9790]

👍😊

[@Jeff-vt8kn]

I'd be cutting down timber nearby about now lol

[@BhagiSB]

👍

[@alviszembergs1820]

You could show lifting higher logs. This first one you could just roll.

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Much easier on the back.

[@GaryRiley-w4g]

The only thing to spoil the video was a new hoist - i expected an old fashioned rope block and tackle.

[@TrustinTimber]

Fair enough. I have my limits:)

[@mikehopper9516]

Its always good to work smarter instead of harder. Now if I can just apply that!

[@TrustinTimber]

You an me both. Takes me a lot of hard work before I get smart:)

[@lyncobb7923]

hey a higher point block it need be! ;- ]

[@eriksrofol307]

Take a look at a "gin pole"

[@TrustinTimber]

Hey, Thanks. I might be able to work that idea in.

[@suchoi61]

5 min ??? 😅🤣😂

[@juniorcruz960]

This is so much easier then building one outta scrap 4x4's an screws 😅

[@kekoa1843]
