    Chain Fall or Come-Along In Thai

    The wife had a Sala delivered while I was away and did not have the slab poured before they dropped it off. Now that the slab is ready, the damn thing is so heavy 6 strong men (I know I'm using the term strong loosely here) could not move it.

    I think I need a small chain fall or a come along to winch it in place. Does anyone know the Thai words for those tools? Cheers!

    a winch is เครื่องกว้าน, khreuang gwaan, both words take a falling tone.

    no idea what a chain fall or come along is.

    Boon Mee why don't you get the people back who dropped it off , as they must have used used a winch to off-load it. If you do find a winch to lift the thing up you're still going to have to use an apex frame that's maneuverable, or you're fcuked. An excavator would be ideal in my book.
