What do y'all use for plate lifting straps? I'm installing a chain <BR>
hoist, retiring an old and unwieldy gantry, and am not sure what the <BR>
best straps are. I was actually thinking about using rachet tie downs <BR>
cause they are adjustable in length but I'm not sure if they would <BR>
hold under vertical lifting. Any thoughts?<BR>
<BR>
I tried the archive and found that Ed Foote likes rope and a 'taut <BR>
line hitch' (did I get that right?) which I dont know if I trust <BR>
myself to tie....<BR>
<BR>
As always, thanks </BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
