    "A huge reinforced cement block buried deep in the ground with chains attached sits ready to test the pulling ability of any Hercules vehicle being repaired or refurbished at PPB. The metal posts in the ground to the left of the block keep any cables from the ’88 that might break during testing from flailing around. A huge tensionometer attached to the cement block is used to check if the Hercules has reached its pulling ability of 80 tons, or 160,000 pounds."
