shop hoist dimensions?

admin

Hey, does anyone have dimensions for a heavy duty shop crane?I have a 3ton long arm jack and want to build a *knock down* shop crane instead of buying one of those cheap, fold up deals that dont really save much space. My shop is pretty tiny, I want to make one that comes apart into separate components and stand them up in the corner or in an oil drum. I had detailed drawings of a dandy unit I rented once, but lost them and dont want to drop another $50 on a rental when I can buy steel with it.I'm more or less concerned with the footprint, overall height of the mast, length of the beam or arm (fully closed and fully extended) and its service height (low position). If anyone can help me out with some of these dims, I can work out the rest Thanks in advanceThermal Arc Fabricator 2101970 Lincoln RedfaceMiller 150 STLStill need a Syncrowave and a plasma and a milling machine and a lathe and a bigger shop and a....

Reply:This is one of the best one I've seen online:http://www.wallacecranes.com/thrftste_fixed.htmThey probably use a wide flange beam instead of an "I-Beam".There are all sorts of things on line to copy without even looking too hard.
Reply:thanks guys - I know I can buy one for around $200-300, but they fold up and dont pull apart. I literally want to take each piece and stash them away out of the wayThermal Arc Fabricator 2101970 Lincoln RedfaceMiller 150 STLStill need a Syncrowave and a plasma and a milling machine and a lathe and a bigger shop and a....

Reply:Thanks Forhire - just what I was looking for. I like the two position ram height. Nice for getting my welder out of the back of a pickupThermal Arc Fabricator 2101970 Lincoln RedfaceMiller 150 STLStill need a Syncrowave and a plasma and a milling machine and a lathe and a bigger shop and a....
