I've got a job coming up, where we will remove and replace a Kone MX20 flat motor. As we know, it's bolted to the top rail section, and the hoist ropes are just behind the rail.

There seems to be a couple of ways it could be done-

I was thinking of landing the cwt, and hanging the car. That pin on the crosshead looks pretty frail, for landing the car on- Any known issues with these?

Then unbolt the fish plate for the top rail section, rig and swing the whole motor/rail assy onto the crosshead, cables and all, where it could then be dissasembled and wrestled with.

Any suggestions?
