Removing Horizontal 550 with Ease - squints - 12-09-2014 12:24 PM

A simple little trick to remove your horizontal 550s. Use your hydraulic tensioning pump that should already be in your terminal to push the haul rope off the 550. Once you have the rope pushed away be sure to bitch it off with a chain to the beam under the principal rail as a safety precaution.

You may have to adjust once new liner is in place. In this situation it worked out perfect because the vertical 550s were running inside due to the horizontal liner being so deep. It made it run right in the gut.
