Yes I know that would make sense but our guys cant use it.
Have them or at least one trained and certified.
Probably cost less than getting a helicopter and licensed pilot
How would you guys lift it?
In the shaft? With a chain fall attached to the structure at the top of the shaft.
Yes. And the electricians setup this up?
Yes if there is steel above we hang off of that, if there's poured concrete we attach an eyebolt or some other device to the concrete with some anchors.
OP said it was two story, that is low enough there are lots of ways that may work depending on conditions. If you can get a vehicle carrying said supplies close enough might not be that much of a rise from vehicle bed to the second floor, if you have any opening available to pass the items through. Long items might be able to pass from one lever to the other pretty easily.
Yes some rigging knowledge is required. A highly skilled journeyman should be able to handle this.
My thought is if you can't learn at least some rigging skills, you should never ever lift anything you can't lift with your bare hands, or at least with the bare hands of multiple workers. Even use of a simple hand truck to move something is sort of a form of rigging.
Agreed the angle of the nylon slings could have been less but the section probably weighed only about 1200 pounds. Those slings in that orientation are probably rated for 3000-4000 pounds. 2 ton chain fall hung off of a 3/4 eyebolt good to go. As you said sometimes you just use what you have, slings a foot longer would have been better.
