Linemen fixing down cable lines due to storm damage in northeast ohio 5/06/2011

This was out in vermilion. Were reattaching our catv back on these newly set poles. It was a bad windy, stormy week here in northeast ohio. The spans are about 200 feet long a piece. When you take into account the equipment at each pole it makes picking these lines back up to get them mounted to the frame quite difficult. Came up with a system to where I drilled a second hole going the other way to temporarily mount a sherman reilly power roller. We used the boom & a rope to hoist it up.

Hoover Dam Bypass Project - F&M Mafco

Leading construction supply and equipment company F&M Mafco, Inc.( www.fmmafco.com ), known internationally as "The Powerful Solutions People" , played a major role in the construction of the Colorado River Bridge. In September of 2006, construction was temporarily halted after the collapse of the cableway system. The cableway system is a critical part of the bridge construction project as it facilitates the delivery of construction materials across the entire canyon, a span of almost 2500 feet. In March of 2007, F&M Mafco was awarded the contract to supply two new 50 ton capacity High Line cableways. The new cableway system consisted of four towers that were 335 feet tall, two head towers on the Nevada side, and two tail towers on the Arizona side. A total of 14 hoists, 8 winches and over 100,00 feet of wire rope and pendants were used for the erection of the High Line Cableway system. The Colorado River Bridge is an engineering and construction marvel and is the first concrete-steel composite arch bridge built in the United States.The new four lane highway and signature bridge spans the Black Canyon, connecting the Arizona and Nevada Approach highways nearly 900-feet above the Colorado River and 1500 feet south of the Hoover Dam.

Felling leaning Sycamore with a tirfor winch and a chainsaw

peplers.blogspot.com These Sycamore were leaning over a neighbour's yard, so we used a Tirfor winch and steel cable to pull them back into the wood, and also an additional rope to help control the direction of fall. Please note that this is not an instructional video! You should get advice or training before felling trees and using chainsaws and winches.

Helicopter SKEDCO Rescue over Afghanistan

www.skedco.com Complete SKED Military Rescue System http High Performance Rescue Hoist Accessories www.skedco.com SKEDCO HELITAG HELICOPTER TAG LINE KIT NSN: 6545-01-381-0654 SK-1010 www.skedco.com The Helitag Kit is designed to prevent litter spin during hoist operations. A litter can spin up to 180 rpm's. That is enough to cause a patient to become a "human centrifuge". The body fluids are forced to the ends of the body. Litter spin can cause death if allowed to continue. The helitag kit when properly used will prevent litter spin completely. This kit contains 250 feet of high visibility 7mm water rescue rope. The break strength of the rope is 1900 pounds. Because the core is polypropylene and the sheath is nylon, the rope floats. It should not be used for rappelling. At the litter end of the rope, there is a "weak link" that breaks between 265 to 310 pounds. It is a safety "break away" that separates if the rope becomes entangled in trees or boat and ship masts. It is attached to the V strap with 2 stainless steel screw links. The V strap is attached to the litter with 2 Petzl key-lock carabiners (snap links). The kit is all contained in a 7 inch diameter x 23 inch camouflage bag. This is required onboard all Army MedEvac helicopters and in many infantry medical sets.
