The procedure begins with assessing a massive support beam, which requires stabilization before any movement can occur. A screw jack is positioned underneath to depress against the support, ensuring the structure remains secure during lifting. The operator emphasizes safety by carefully bolting the beam onto a sturdy table using bolts and eye bolts threaded through cargo containers, providing anchor points for the lift.
To safeguard against accidents and deformations, extra precautions are taken, including extending supports with two-by-eights and two-by-sixes. A lathe, capable of handling a 200-pound load, sits nearby, further indicating the heavy-duty nature of ongoing work.
