FTFY because even though their fates are often similar, one is not like the other.
You wouldn't ship the car in gear. Should have been secured to the lifting platform, relying on brakes, gears or any other item on the car itself isn't wise.

I was thinking they might be heli-logging but hell if I know.
One of these guys?
That's an old ex-army surplus CH-54 Skycrane. Sikorsky Helicopters manufactured it. Was quite a lifting machine in it's day.

Erickson bought all the tooling and intellectual property off of Sikorsky after they couldn't sell but a handful of Skycranes to the Army. Not sure if the ones flying are rebuilt surplus or all new airframes. Cool, nonetheless.
