Maintenance Hoist, Hoover Dam
Equipment being delivered or removed has to be slung down the steep canyon sides, in order to be (de)installed. This item was delivered during our visit to the Dam, and appears to be part of the electrical generation equipment.
These cable cranes, spanning the entire width of Black Canyon, date from the original construction of the Dam in the 1930's.
Taken during our 2012 visit.
