Risky lifts !
Nice pictures MB but why oh why do you guys have to lift these things out in what appears to be an unsafe manner with things at all angles and using only one chain/sling where it could slip out and do who knows what damage !
Is there a nationwide shortage of slings or lifting chains ?
Out in industry no one would attempt a lift like yours with a single sling-double would be much safer.
From most of the "Official" recovery pictures almost all use a single lifting appliance !

MB, when it was "disposed of," did it go off high order?
