Once the lifting path is determined, where should the vehicle-mounted capstan be positioned?

Positioning the vehicle-mounted capstan close to the lifting staging area is crucial for operational efficiency and safety. Being near this area allows for optimal control over the lifting operations and ensures that the cable and load management can be executed effectively. This proximity facilitates easy access to the equipment needed for lifting, reduces the amount of cable that needs to be managed, and minimizes the potential for tangling or snagging as the load is raised or lowered.

Moreover, placing the capstan near the lifting staging area enhances the team's ability to communicate and coordinate during the lifting process. This coordination is vital for maintaining safety protocols and ensuring that everyone involved is in the right position and aware of their responsibilities.

Choosing locations like an intersection, in a garage, or at the base of the tower may not provide the same level of effectiveness or safety, as they could complicate operations or increase risks during the lifting process.
