i use a lot of different methods of moving heavy things, it kinda depends what mood i'm in.:thinking:
10 ton PortaPower
numerous bottle jacks from 4 to 20 tons
Vintage Rail Road Jack 15 ton
Wooden 4x4 Gantry with 1/2 Ton Chain Hoist
Wooden 4x4 Gantry with 4 ton Come along
2 Ton Engine Hoist
Wedges
Screw Jacks
4 wheel dollies
Hand Truck
3/4" Black iron Pipe for rollers
1/2" solid stainless steel rollers
Multiple Sleever Bars
Wire Rope Slings and Chokers
3 1/2 Ton Nylon lifting Slings
Rail Road Ties
Multiple Chains 3/8" and 5/16"
i'm still lacking one more piece of recycled steel tube to finish the construction of my Heavy Gantry.
i already have the i beam and one leg, with base, worth of material on hand.
i gotta get back over to the recycler to get more material.
The gantry, when completed will be 10' tall x 7 ' wide. the plan is for a trolley and a 3 ton Chain Hoist.
i have yet to buy some rigger dollies and i'm very, jealous of Old Machinist's set up... That Guy has some tools!!!
