Methods are disclosed for pulling an object while measuring the weight of the object. The object is pulled upward using a cable extending over a first cylinder. The cable further extends over a second cylinder. The cable travels along a cable path between an uppermost portion of each of the outer circumferential portions of the first cylinder and the second cylinder. The first cylinder is restrained from movement parallel to the cable path with an arm having a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to the first cylinder and the second end is coupled to either the second cylinder or a frame. The weight of the object is measured with a force measurement device. In some embodiments, the position of the cable with respect to the frame may be adjusted by a dampening system or a bushing.
