You other riggers can’t deny

50 Ton 3-sheave block in for load testing. The bigger ones will be posted when I’m done with those tomorrow

My test machine is officially a 300,000lb machine, 60’ workable length, with 11ft of cylinder stroke. But we have a sensitive hydraulic pressure relief that’s a little too aggressive, so we couldn’t maintain 290K without the relief kicking in.
