Doing cowboy Sh*t.

What happens here

Two workers manually push one end of the long, heavy wooden beam, sliding it into a more accessible position. Simultaneously, the telehandler's boom is lowered, and a lifting strap or sling is secured around the beam, close to its center of gravity. The telehandler then begins to slowly lift the beam off the ground, ensuring it is stable before further movement.

Goal: Lift the beam off the ground safely.

  • Lifting Strap/Sling N/A — Securing the beam to the telehandler's forks for lifting
