So we are talking lifting one end while sliding the plastic on? Yeah, I could do that. But I could slide it on upside down, then rotate it and not have to lift the whole thing. That’s what I would have done before asking for help.
Would you deadlift these reels onto the racketeers?
2nd year apprentice here. At work today, I rolled these reels onto onto one of the racketeers (read: rolled, not lifted). I would have had to deadlift it onto the second racketeer, since rolling them on wasn't working for the second one. They felt super heavy, by my best guess they were about 240 lbs total. I asked a coworker to help me lift them:
"Aww, do you want Daddy to do it for you?" he said.
"Well, no, we can do it together." I said.
"Stand aside. I don't need your help." he said.
He deadlifted them by himself. It was slightly embarrassing because he's smaller than me.
What do you guys think? Would you have lifted them solo? Should we be expected to do this sort of thing?
Thanks in advance. By the way, it was 10 gauge wire that was 85+% full on all the reels.
