Maximizing Mechanical Advantage

One of the inside winter projects this year was to install a pulley system in the shop that better enable us to lift large or heavy objects into the storage area above the offices and break room.  Today while moving the beverage stations out to the course, we utilized the pulleys to move the stations into the back of a trailer.

The railing is removable for the purpose of moving things into the storage area.  The crew fashioned a cradle to hold the beverage station for moving.

They were able to lower the beverage station directly into the trailer for transport out to the course.

This proved to be a much easier method for moving the beverage stations around.  The beverage stations are on the course, but are not being serviced yet.
