Bryan, I lifted two 2300# concrete culverts off of a trailer (one at a time) with a 4x4 tripod and block and tackle. Backed trailer up to where culvert should be. Lifted up culvert slightly. Drove out trailer. Lowered culvert. I used a Northern block and tackle rated at 4000#. The tripod was connected together with 1" all thread, nuts, and washers. All hardware in the lifting rig was rated at 4000# or better. I tied the end of the rope to a second truck bumper for lifting. DO NOT LET ANY PART OF YOU OR ANYONE ELSE GET UNDER THE LOAD. MAKE SURE ALL PARTS ARE RATED FOR THE LOAD. If it should fall it will crush anything underneath. My block and tackle failed on the second lift. Fortunantly it dropped the culvert in the right place. No one was near. So much for cheap tools. I have since bought a better block and tackle. I will try to post a picture if I can find one tonight. You would probably come out cheaper to hire someone with equipment to load it for you, but you can do it the old fashioned way. BE SAFE!!! Cliff (VA)
