Good luck. The big ones weigh more than standard shipping allows so truck freight or Greyhound, I guess. A buddy of mine has a pair as yard art…puns always intended . Must weigh 100#

Neighbor has a very good sized set in his yard, if he'll part with them I can bring them to the gtg.

Do you have grab hooks? I have a vision of your crane with tongs, then hooks linking logs…skid train…

My son was gifted a large pair and they just sit in my garage. I'm sure he'd work something out, but how do I get them to you? Got any sweet 78/79 fords I need to rent a car and come get?

 

[davidwyby]

I have a set that open to 16” or so, maybe less. Lot handier than choking stuff but too small most of the time. I’d like to be able to tong a 36” log.

Whatever happens next, David, you did it to yourself.

Seriously, make some grab hooks. They’re 5 times more versatile than tongs. I’m still using a set from the 30’s.

This is what we use at work. If you have a skid there’s no comparison.

I don’t think they’d work very good hooked to my winch cable

Likey. How far do they open?

 

[redneckhillbilly]

im guessing they could spread enough to pick that tire up, I will get a measurement when it gets daylight

 

[redneckhillbilly]

32 inches is what I would say they could lift, you can spread them wider but the spikes wont be level

 

[davidwyby]

I’d take them. Shipping might kill it. Pm me address and weight and let me see on pirate ship

Here's sum of them grabby thingy's.
