Hello,
I have an Argo Conquest
Would You be so kind to answer a question on this vehicle.
Is it possible to lift Argo with a crane? I need to lift it from the water and put it on board of a vessel.
The problem is there are no special hooks on the vehicle so I have no idea how to fix ropes. I tried to put 4 ropes behind front and rear wheels and to fasten the ropes to the hook of the crane. But when I tried to lift the vehicle the ropes were deforming the plastic boards.

If You have any idea please answer

Ideas-
-You could build a frame to separate the ropes before they come in contact with the body of the argo.
-put attach points under hood, spread out enough so you could attach to both sides of the engine and the third attach point could be the hitch.
I used this method to retrive mine when the motor mount broke. I ran a lift strap under the frame by flexing the body down. But I see no reason you could not do something more permenant in the way of a couple of lift rings in this area.

Another way to lift would be to run two bars under the vehicle cross ways and pick up from the and of each bar just outside of the body.
