I need to move many stones from various stone walls around my place to
make rustic stone steps and repair some walls closer to the house. I
have a front-mounted crane on my truck and a trailer to place the
stones on. I need to find an easy and secure method of 'grabbing' the
stones to lift with the crane.
This seems to be the only group where people really Do stuff... I did
a lot of searching without much result on this one, and I'm hoping
some of you have done this kind of thing.
I envision some kind of sling or rigging arrangement made with cables
or chain that can be quickly rigged or adjusted on many different
irregular shaped stones to lift them. Oh, and easily removed :-)
These stones are typically 100 to 500 pounds or so.
Anyone seen something like this?? The various commercial products
for lifting curbs and tombstones don't seem like they'd work well on a
bunch of irregular stones.
Thanks!
