Filmed in Eugene, Oregon. The first clip is halfway through the unloading, I had to jump out of my pickup and get setup when he had already started so forgive the camera adjusting movement in the beginning! This truck is all old school. Standard winch setup mid hoist unlike the Ford in the previous video. These types of hoists are becoming super rare as the reeving became more popular due to their durability in the 80's. However, customers still ordered them due to the lightness of the hoists compared to reeving cylinders. You'll also notice the unique coupling method on the containers, I haven't seen this style used except on deadlift containers and it's slightly different in how it locks.
