I keep telling myself that I like the earlier fork carriers and I’m not going to buy any sling carriers. Then I find one at a good price and think its cool. Next thing I know its in the back of my truck. Anyway I got this monster at the show.
My question is on the other two. Apart from one being steel track and the other wood, the only difference is on the back. One has a rope lock/tieoff , the other has another pulley hanging there. Is this for a triple reeving setup similar to the myers post?

That is exactly right, the rope now, instead of going to the on chassis tie off is sent back down after passing through the new sheave and the tie off ends up on one of the sling pulleys itself when triple reaving.
Just know that there is one larger Beatty, a monster made for the Big Lift series.

I was looking in Berry’s Book- Isn’t that first one I got the big lift?

For me, the big sling carriers are the favorite. Nothing like working on a complex monster with a lot of parts to keep me out of trouble.

Kenny, have you, or anyone else who may read this, ever restored a “Beatty Big Lift”? I’m considering taking that challenge on and I’m curious how it went. Keep in mind that I’m still wire wheeling all of mine. I don’t yet have blasting equipment, nor have I sought out a commercial blaster yet. The few that I’ve done weren’t huge like that one.
Thanks
Declan
YOU HAVEN’T LIVED UNTIL YOU RESTORE ONE OF THESE BEAST. DID IT FOR THE PURE CHALLENGE OF IT ALL. TAKE PLENTY OF PHOTOS AS YOU DISASSEMBLE.
