Original text on this topic:
The loading of rhino with the aid of monkey winches and rollers had always been a laborious and time consuming process. The use of a multilift device which has a dismountable platform onto which the rhino crate was tied, greatly facillitated the loading of the rhino in this operation. The loading, from the moment the antidote was injected to when the vehicle was ready for departure could be achieved in 15 minutes.
