Part 3/6:
The work shifts to lifting large cannons and related military equipment, some weighing up to a thousand pounds. The process involves precise placement of eye bolts into drilled holes, allowing the use of a screw jack to lift these hefty items safely. An example features a crate filled with cannons, highlighting the volume of equipment being handled.
A significant task involves lifting a targeting mechanism for a gun, estimated at 800 pounds. The operator explains that once separated from its base, the weight reduces to approximately 650 pounds—making it easier to handle—for eventual relocation into an artillery area. The goal is to disassemble, move, and store these units efficiently, demonstrating a methodical approach to managing heavy military hardware.
