I just don't get the whole gin wheel at head height thing.

Never have!
 
i always thought it was so the labrador could trap your nose in it rather then your fingers when the little twa* yanks on it!

I always thought it's because some people haven't worked out that if the wheel is high enough for someone to just about grab hold of the tail of the rope, then it's about 300 million times easier to land and send materials down....

:idea:

Same as that Phil must be a southern thing we got!! Also a lot easier if the ropes in a continuous loop the bottom man(sorry labourer for younger scaffs) does the raising and lowering when empty then, and no need to keep sending it down!!
