It sounds like what you're looking for is a beam trolley or hoist crawl..

Thanks Drie......, that is a idea - theirs are slide things, but perhaps they know of roller models.
Need roller for heavier animals.

I am pretty sure that an engineering shop can make you a very good hook with roller.

Oh, and before I forget: get an inline set of rollers. When the carcass swings, it sometimes moves beyond the balance point. This causes a single roller to stop moving, or even to move in the opposite direction. Double rollers are not affected that much.

We had a block and tackle fitted to the rollers so that we could lift the carcasses directly off the vehicle.

It is called a rolling meat hook. The ones we used had nylon rollers, but rather get a skid hook. The skid hook works just as well and will be much cheaper.

Speak to these guys
