Overhead bridge cranes,


Another option besides Gunner's is to rig 'keeper' tackle on both ends, to
the masts, before you start trying to fork the beam down. With adequate
strength of cable and some 'snubbers' to cushion a short fall, you could
fork down in increments, adjusting the rigging each time you want to go
lower.

Good idea. Hope the on the job training goes well the first couple
times.
