Mike- I've been thinking of building a mobile hoist out of either wood, pipe or square metal tubing. I'd like it to be able to breakdown. Do you have any photos of yours?ThanksChristiani use a lot of different methods of moving heavy things, it kinda depends what mood i'm in.:thinking:10 ton PortaPowernumerous bottle jacks from 4 to 20 tonsVintage Rail Road Jack 15 tonWooden 4x4 Gantry with 1/2 Ton Chain Hoist Wooden 4x4 Gantry with 4 ton Come along)
Something like this? I've had these on my list of things to make but never got that far yet.
When I have a heavy lifting job, first I roll up my sleeves 1/4 of the way, and apply my own enormous, brute strength.
If that doesn't work, I ask my girlfriend to do it.
