Mission 50 tonnes!!!

Well this was something which kept me busy for a whole one week. One piece of round which weighted 50 tonnes(50,000 kg) was to be loaded from a godown on to a truck. Well 4 cranes were to lift this heavy piece of stuff but the hitch was how to bring this huge mass of iron out of the godown.
Well thanks to these hard working people who with the help of iron ropes, levers, hydraulic jacks, and other simple machines has done something which was expected to be impossible. They first cleared the mess out of the godown. Placed the wodden planks and many thin rounds on the planks so that the iron round can roll on it easily.They even dug up holes so that they can place the hydraulic jacks in them and lift the 50 tonnes piece. Then they slowly dragged this piece of iron 12 foot out of the godown in just 3 days.
Once the round was out of the godown, two cranes rolled the iron mass in the open field where the four cranes have enough space to accommodate and move freely and the truck can move too. Once it was out, four cranes lifted this round weighing 50 tonnes and the truck rolled under the iron and the round was loaded on the truck.
It was a great relief after this round was loaded on the truck.
