What is schnabels?

Schnabels are a type of tool used for lifting and transporting heavy loads such as stones, logs, or heavy equipment. They consist of two wooden or steel poles with pointed ends that are joined together by a wooden or metal crossbar.

The poles are typically made of high-quality hardwoods such as ash, hickory, or oak, which are known for their strength and durability. The crossbar is usually made of steel or reinforced hardwood to bear the weight of heavy loads.

Schnabels are commonly used in the construction and forestry industries for moving heavy materials and equipment. They are also used in cultural festivals and celebrations to carry large and elaborate sculptures or decorations.

The name "schnabel" comes from the German word for "beak," referring to the pointed ends of the poles that resemble a bird's beak.
