I got all kinds of schemes. Wanna see some gittins trust setters the jerked off Amish. On a dead run
My framer clients love my remote release. Most of them are four men crews one on the ground one on the subfloor and two in the trusses. One guy in the trusses will set the truss at the plate and the other will tie the truss in half way to the peak then at the plate. As soon as the truss is adequately secured I get the single to release and neither one ever needs to go near the centre of the truss, it saves a lot of time and reduces the risk of a fall. A couple weeks ago I had to set some long shallow trusses that required two hitch points so we couldn’t use the remote ( I’m not buying a second one) it was like taking a kids favourite toy awayI use shackles often to choke a long strap, like you used the spud wrench. The carpenters usually don't get it at first, and always want me to winch clear down so they can reach my load hook, and I have to yell at them to just undo the shackle, then they get it. Depending on the job, it saves a lot of winching up and down.
Gotcha they’re made in Quebec. I’ll find a link for them and pm you.Interesting! That's how I'm quickly starting to feel about my camera system. What brand of release is that again?
Most guys use 22 3/8” spacers and block between trusses. I use pre-marked 2x4’s never sticking them out more than one extra truss.tradesman... How does one stabilize trusses without blocking the next ones for the crane ?
