Ridge beam

[Moyneur]

Any ideas on how I’m going to get a 6”x14”x20’ ridge beam in place with out a crane?

How tall are the plates?

On something like that our framing crew lifts it by hand.
It isnt that heavy with 6 guys.

We've set up pump jacks on the floor, braced to floor and walls and lifted some osha unapproved things with them :wink:
