                        Well there are set schemes for every item of kit we lift on slings, and its all tested before any scheme is written. About the only item thats lifted on two hooks is large containers.

                        I'm surprised that they only used a single lift point, and let it windmill around the way that it did.....

                        Thats good footage. I haven't heard of this and its my unit that specalise in underslung loads.I will have to ask when i get back to work. I was thinking on a dio with a chinook picking up a load with a couple of hookers underneath.
