Well Scott,   I see that at least a couple of guys have already given you
some good advice.     Those will work fine.      Am I missing something
here?    Your mast is only ten feet tall,    The lowest beam will be
mounted four feet up.....That leaves only six feet from the lower beam to
the top of the mast.    You could stand on the top of the tower and reach
the top of the mast to unhook the crane hook.    At the very least,  you
can stand on the boom of the lowest beam and reach the hook????   
Obviously,  if your mast is 24'   tall,   this plan will not work.

Be safe.... 73, Jerry Liley,  K0GUG,  Holts Summit,  MO  65043
