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.

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.
