I wonder who had to turn the winch handles ?

A large crane being delivered to James W Cooks shipyard for use on one of their newly built dredger.

Unfortunately it got stuck halfway down the hill, the road being unmade, you can see the two steel cables that were attached to the winch which was secured at the top of the hill.
The date must be around 1980.
