Same results...can't get it to go into columns. Conclusion is that the bigger the ring the less side pressure on the pkn. The biggest difference was between the 13" and 27". It helps prove what I had thought. With a small ring you can lift smaller pkns, but with a big one you need a larger ring or risk damage and possible collapse of pkn. My recommendation is 13" ring....up to 1,000 lbs, 27" ring up to 1,500 lbs, anything over 1,500 lbs you need a large diameter ring. These test were done using 6 straps, on the larger rings ie 27" and 40"Monster I put 12 straps. Twice the straps equal 1/2 the side pressure as with 6 straps. Best of the Best to You and Yours
