Abstract:
A process for winching comprising providing a jack including a bar having a top and a base and running gear mounted on said bar and movable between said base and top, mounting a winch tensioner bracket with an attached first chain on said bar at said base, connecting a second chain to the object to be winched, mounting a winch jack attachment bracket on the running gear with a third chain extending from said winch jack attachment bracket, connecting a fourth chain between a stationary member and the top of the jack, placing the running gear of the jack adjacent said base and attaching said third chain to said second chain at a first location, cranking the jack to move the running gear away from the base toward the top producing force in said second and third claims to move said object, fully extending the first chain and attaching it to the second chain, moving the running gear of the jack away from the top and down to the base to release tension in the third chain and transfer tension to the first chain, reattaching said third chain to said second chain but at a location closer to said object than said first attachment location, and again cranking the jack to move the running gear away from the base toward the top providing force in said second and third chains to further move said object.
