Members recently conducted a heavy lifting and rigging drill utilizing a tractor-trailer. Crews practiced lifting and stabilization techniques using Paratech HydraFusion struts, pneumatic bottle jacks, Griphoists, and come-alongs. Training also included securing the trailer axles with chains and utilizing rigging equipment, chains, and chain binders to tension and stabilize the trailer while controlling potential load shifts.
This drill provided valuable hands-on experience with heavy lifting, load stabilization, and rigging techniques that may be required during complex rescue incidents. A special thank you to Mark Turner with Turner Enterprises for generously providing the tractor-trailer that made this training possible!
