    Default "limestone retaining wall block" picker upperer?

    Does anyone have plans or a picture of a "limestone retaining wall block" picker upperer?

    A two person one if possible - I dunno if they come like that?

    Thanks

    Would a swivel hoist mounted on a trailer do the trick?

    Default Lime Stone Block Mover

    Hi Bob

    I had a limestone wall built a few years back. The bloke who built it had one such device. Worked on the same principle as a Ice Block pick up that the old ice delivery man use to use when I was a kid back in cane toad land. Should not be hard to roughly draw one on paper before bashing one together out of flat bar steel and some solid round bar.

    Google [ice tongs] for some pictures. If you add a short chain between the handles, a regular crane hook can engage the chain for lifting. There are similar contraptions for lifting sheet steel plates.

    For a two-man block lifter, Google [peavey timber carrier] - similar principle which you can probably fabricate.

    Cheers,
    Joe

    cheers
