One of the things I am learning is how to take an old rusted out truck bed off the plow truck and put a newer one on using a Chain Fall. This nifty mechanical tool makes lifting very heavy things manageable with one person. The last time we tried to move a truck bed (yes, I know - some people never do this in their lifetime - we have done it now 3x!! and I suspect are not done yet with this experience!) - it required getting 2 of our neighbors to help us move the bed a very short distance - 4 people in all. I can manage manipulating the chain fall by myself without hurting any muscles and feeling very safe lifting something this heavy in the air over our heads.
