Thanks for the replies. Lift pump part of the way then tie it off and get another grip is how I imagined we'd do it but I wondered if there is a piece of kit available that would be attached to the crane, maybe the crane needs to have two hook arrangement?
We need to lift a 5 tonne pump out of a wet well using an overhead travelling crane, this cannot be done in a single lift due to height restrictions in the building over the well. What can be used to do this?
