There have been a few threads about gantry cranes over the years and they have a lot of useful information.
I need one that has a capacity of at least 1ton, no more than 2 tons.
I considered making one however after looking at the cost of the steel and wheels I am revisiting the commercially available products. HF sells one by "Pitsburgh" and Titan has models in 1 ton and 2 tons.

Does anyone have a comment on which would be better quality? It looks like I can get the 2 ton for less than the 1 ton. I am open to other ideas as well. Do you own one of these?
